HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Fort Jefferson Historic Site.
The original 1780 stockade no longer survives, and the precise fort landscape has been altered by later occupation and park development. Fort Jefferson Hill Park, a state historical marker, overlooks, trails, and a large memorial cross commemorate the settlement and strategic river confluence.
About Fort Jefferson Historic Site
