Fort Morris and Sunbury Cemetery

Okay, so I am not that good at keep this thing up to date but I will try a little harder.
Well, we did some more site seeing a couple of weeks ago and just went down the road to this state park and historic place. It was Fort Morris and what is left of the town of Sunbury (which is just a cemetery). It is nice to have some historical places near by and things to do that is cheap and fun. It was not much to do just walk around and look at the place but hey it was fun.
So here is a little history if you are wondering about it.


When the Continental Congress convened in 1776, the delegates recognized the importance of a fort to protect their growing seaport from the British. Soon afterwards, a low bluff on the Medway River at Sunbury was fortified and garrisoned by 200 patriots. When the British demanded the fort’s surrender on November 25, 1778, the defiant Col. John McIntosh replied, “Come and take it!” The British refused and withdrew back to Florida. Forty-five days later, they returned with a superior force, and on January 9, 1779, Fort Morris fell after a short but heavy bombardment. Under the name of Fort Defiance, this bulwark was once again used against the British during the War of 1812. Today, visitors can stand within the earthwork remains and view scenic Saint Catherines Sound
