The inhabitants of the fort helped those of Matanzas during the siege of Ogelthorpe. Fort Mose was destroyed by an English attack in 1740, and in 1752 a new fort was built next to the first one. A small museum in the Visitor Center tells the story of the destroyed fort. You can also go hiking and paddle boarding.
