Another place I've not been to before...Ft. Mose State Park. Like Kingsley Plantation, it is part of the African-American experience in Florida. Here's an account from Ft. Mose Historical Society's website: "Hidden away in the marshes of St. Augustine, Florida is one of the
most important sites in American history: the first free community of
ex-slaves, founded in 1738 and called Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de
Mose or Fort Mose (pronounced
Moh-Say)."
