Fort Foster Historic Site / Musket Demonstration

Fort Foster was used in the Second Seminole War in 1837.
The fort was part of the shameful history of European settlers who've stolen land from the Natives. The Seminole Creeks were gradually pushed southward. The conflict lasted almost seven years.
At the official end of the war, on August 14, 1842, only a few hundred Seminoles were left in Florida, in the Everglades, where their descendants remain to this day.

During the war, the expended approximately $35 million, making the Second Seminole War the most costly Indian war in U.S. history.
