Last week, Fort Morris Historic Site was awarded the Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites - Georgia DNR divisions Cultural Resource Enhancement Award for the ongoing site improvement and restoration project.

This project has included removing numerous trees from the fort interior and earth works, placing replica cannons in the fort, installing a new flag pole, installing new museum lighting, and the design (will be here soon) of new interpretive panels.

This project has been made possible by so many folks! We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the citizens of Liberty County and our site visitors for their donations. We also want to thank our Friends Group, and the state for their assistance with funding the project.

A very special thanks to Mr. Tom Hand and Americana Corner for their generous donations that have helped us turn this dream of a project into reality!

The 37th Annual Georgia National Fair has started with a boom! This year’s theme is America 250: Georgia Grown, and we were there for it with a stellar cannon crew to officially start the festivities with a cannon firing. Governor Brian Kemp and the First Lady were there to kick off the celebration. The fun runs at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter from now through October 18. We will be back on the 18th for the closing ceremony as well!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who worked, volunteered, and supported Fort Morris' 4th of July celebration last weekend.

Because of your hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm, this year's event became a truly Monumental Moment in Fort Morris' history. We were thrilled to welcome a record-breaking crowd of approximately 400 visitors who came to celebrate, learn, and experience the incredible history of this special place.

From planning and setup to demonstrations, greeting guests, and everything in between, your time and effort made all the difference. Your commitment helped create an unforgettable Independence Day for our community and visitors alike.

A special thank you goes to the Friends of Fort Morris for generously covering visitor admission costs, making it possible for everyone to enjoy this historic celebration free of charge. Your support helped ensure that our community and visitors could come together to experience this memorable day without barriers.

Thank you all for helping preserve and share the story of Fort Morris. We couldn't have achieved this milestone without each and every one of you. Here's to 250 MORE years of making history together!
