Tour Overview

Audio Tour Overview
Step into the footsteps of William Bartram as he journeys through the untamed Florida coast. This immersive tour explores:

  • Fort Mose, once a sanctuary for freedom seekers, now a quiet field echoing with untold stories.

  • Anastasia Island, where seashells became stone and time left its mark just beneath the sand.

  • The Coquina Quarry, where nature met labor and blocks of ancient shells became the very bones of Florida’s forts.

  • Ye Watch House, in two parts: first, a coastal sentinel standing guard, then a wind-whipped lookout where Bartram faced the unpredictable tides of the St. Augustine Inlet.

Each stop offers a glimpse into Florida’s layered past—etched in stone, swept by sea, and remembered in silence.
