While waiting on the Ferry ride:

Park staff and volunteers show off various tools and tricks of the colonial life and other skills. Test out those knot tying skills. See what a soldier carried in his backpack. Get an up close look at a Spanish flintlock musket. Or, look into the shot locker and learn about the many uses of cannons of the past. On some days we also demonstrate bullet making over a fire.

Musket firing and bullet making demonstrations are subject to weather conditions and staffing.

Fort Matanzas National Monument frequently presents ranger or volunteer-led Nature Programs. These programs can vary in physical exertion from a stationary program in the picnic area, a short walk on one of the park's nature trails or a 2 mile hike along the park's beaches. Check the above calendar for specific details and dates for these programs.
