The excellent exhibition at Fort Mose Historic State Park, is wonderful place to encounter Florida, Underground Railroad, colonial rivalries, fugitive alliances, piracy, the development of notions of freedom, and links to Haiti and Cuba. Fort Mose was a place where English, Spanish, and Timacua (wikipedia) would have been spoken.
“In 1738, the Spanish established the fort-town of Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose as the first legal, free Black community in the United States.” via Fort Mose : colonial America’s Black fortress of freedom (1996) by Kathleen A Deagan; Darcie A MacMahon.
Fort Mose Historical Society supports the park.
