Fort Christmas
This is at Fort Christmas, a short distance north of the town of Fort Christmas. In the 1820's & 1830's, American settler's were trying to get the Seminole Indians moved to west of the Mississippi River, but the Indians were being tough. So they opened a fort & because it opened on Christmas day, that was how it got it's name.
This is a CRACKER HOUSE. They were called Crackers because native Floridians called themselves Crackers.
This appears to be the main gate. If you look up on the 2nd floor you will see rectangular holes, evidently used to shoot from.
