Today, Fort Mose is recognized as a significant local, national, and international historic landmark. Its history is amazing! Founded by freedom seekers who were granted asylum by the Spanish government, it was home to the free black militia who protected Saint Augustine until Spain ceded all of La Florida to England in 1763. The residents once again faced enslavement, but instead abandoned the fort and sought safety in Cuba.

The fort was swallowed by marsh, and its community was largely forgotten until the 20th century when archeologists, historians, government leaders, and committed citizens helped restore Fort Mose to its rightful place of honor.

And now, Fort Mose is a state park, and it hosts a wonderful Jazz and Blues series.

Don't miss these fantastic performances.
