Fort King offers an Ocala history outing with two different visiting schedules
A visit to Fort King can combine a reconstructed fort, archaeological interpretation and a nature walk. The site at 3925 E. Fort King Street examines the Second Seminole War and the conflict between U.S. expansion and Seminole resistance.
A visit to Fort King can combine a reconstructed fort, archaeological interpretation and a nature walk. The site at 3925 E. Fort King Street examines the Second Seminole War and the conflict between U.S. expansion and Seminole resistance.
Plan around the part you most want to see. The city lists the visitor and archaeological centers as open Friday and Saturday, while the grounds have a separate daily schedule. A weekday walk therefore does not guarantee access to indoor exhibits.
The city and Marion County jointly own the landmark; it is not a National Park Service park. For a group visit or mobility accommodations, contact the site before setting out. Reading the visitor information first will help you leave enough time for both the exhibits and the landscape.
