Old Fort Park

The site of a popular natural spring in Native American and colonial times, hence showing evidence of both pre-Columbian and Spanish settlement. The fort was built during the Seminole Wars and stationed by officer William T. Sherman, who later served as one of the most successful Union generals in the American Civil War. The burial mound found on-site is a reminder of the once-vast lands and importance of the Ais people, which at their peak extended as far north as Cape Canaveral.
