(A history lesson at every stop)

Visited from Nov 8, 2021 to Nov 17, 2021

(Group 12)

I never expected the history lessons I was to receive in visiting this group. History of fights between British and Spanish, of slavery and freedom, of massacres for which a subsequent fort was actually named. I expected places like Cumberland Island National Seashore to just be an isolated island with nice beaches, not a historic soap opera featuring lives of the rich and famous. I visited three state historical parks as part of this trip. If this is a sample of future trips, I can't wait to continue my journeys.
