St.

Simons               Island,               Georgia               is               a               prime               tourist               destination               for               many               reasons:               History,               quaint               shopping               in               an               oceanfront               setting,               and               stunning               scenery.

Believe               it               or               not,               St.

Simons               is               also               a               great               place               to               teach               school-age               kids               with               an               interest               in               history.

This               is               largely               due               to               the               Fort               Frederica               memorial,               run               by               the               National               Park               Service.

I've               always               had               a               deep               interest               in               English               history,               having               also               visited               Jamestown,               Virginia,               and               realizing               the               huge               impact               that               England               had               on               our               nation's               history.

English               history               was               made               on               St.

Simons               Island               as               well.

In               Georgia               you               will               find               that               the               majority               of               early               colonial               events               were               inspired               by               the               British.

At               Fort               Frederica               kids               ---               and               adults               ---               will               learn               that               Frederica               was               an               English               town               founded               in               the               1730s,               made               up               of               civilian               families               and               British               soldiers.

It               was               very               nearby,               at               Bloody               Marsh               Battle               Site,               that               Spanish               raiders               from               St.

Augustine,               Florida,               were               defeated               by               General               James               Oglethorpe's               men.
               At               Frederica               you               will               see               brick               foundations               of               once-beautiful               colonial               homes,               the               remains               of               the               King's               Barracks,               the               simple               coquina               remains               of               the               King's               Magazines               on               the               Frederica               River,               various               artillery               pieces,               and               the               old               Frederica               cemetery.

Your               Frederica               journey               begins               at               the               visitor               center.

Inside,               there               are               display               cases               filled               to               the               brim               with               colonial               items.

There               is               a               modest               book               store               and               places               for               kids               to               learn               and               explore               as               well.

When               I               last               visited,               there               were               clothing               items               such               as               a               colonial               tricorn               hat               and               a               British               soldier's               red               coat               to               try               on;               I'm               not               sure               if               Frederica               still               has               these               items.

Just               outside               the               entrance               you'll               find               the               remains               of               Frederica.
               Scattered               to               the               left               of               the               path               are               the               brick               foundations               of               Frederica.

Markers               tell               what               the               houses               were               and               who               built               them,               and               they               even               include               a               sketch               of               how               the               structure               would               have               looked               in               Frederica's               heyday               as               well               as               pertinent               stories               about               that               structure.

To               the               right               is               the               tower               of               the               King's               Barracks,               the               only               remaining               section.

Interpretive               markers               tell               how               it               appeared               in               the               1730s               and               1740s.

Straight               ahead               is               the               King's               Magazine,               the               most               impressive               ruin               at               Frederica               and               one               of               the               most               underappreciated               historic               sites               in               Georgia.

The               magazine               is               a               coquina               structure               with               two               arched               chambers               kids               will               love               to               explore               ---               check               if               you're               allowed               inside.

Rules               sometimes               change.

You               can               just               feel               Georgia               history               in               this               place.

When               I               visited               Frederica               I               remember               being               awed               by               the               feel               of               history,               even               though               this               is               only               a               small               section               of               what               was               once               a               great               fortification.
               The               Frederica               River               runs               directly               behind               the               magazine               (visitors               to               Georgia               will               be               entranced               with               the               number               of               beautiful               rivers               and               swamps               they               will               encounter).

English               cannons               provide               a               photogenic               backdrop.

Turning               around,               you'll               find               the               old               Frederica               cemetery               partially               hidden               in               the               woods.

No               one               is               quite               sure               how               this               place               is,               or               who               might               be               buried               here,               but               it               is               a               intriguing               part               of               Georgia               history.
               As               a               side               note,               there               are               other               places               on               St.

Simons               Island               that               directly               linked               to               Frederica               and               Georgia's               English               history:               Bloody               Marsh               Battle               Site,               the               place               where               Spanish               and               British               troops               clashed               in               July               1742,               is               a               peaceful               and               visually-striking               site               with               interpretive               markers               and               a               modest               stone               memorial.

A               marker               telling               of               Fort               St.

Simons,               which               the               Spanish               destroyed               in               1742,               is               located               in               the               main               part               of               town               just               behind               the               St.

Simons               Lighthouse.

There               are               many               other               gems               of               Frederica               history               just               waiting               to               be               discovered               as               well.
               You               might               want               to               consider               exploring               the               many               historical               sites               Georgia               has               to               offer.

After               all,               what               is               a               trip               to               Georgia               without               a               visit               to               Savannah               and               Brunswick?
