Welcome to Fort Matanzas National Monument. Many schools visit us each year as culmination of their studies. Please visit Plan a Field Trip if you are interested in visiting. Be aware that March, April and May are extremely busy months.
We have numerous curriculum materials available to augment your study of the fort and of Florida history. To request a CD-ROM of educational materials geared towards grades 3-5, email us.
Some of these activities are available on this webpage in Adobe PDF format.
