Fort Washington was originally built in 1809, but was destroyed by its own garrison only five years later. It was rebuilt in 1824 to serve as the only defense for the nation’s capital until the Civil War–when a circle of temporary forts was built around the city. Prior to World War I, Fort Washington was downgraded to harbor defense; and the large guns were removed. During the war, the post was used as a staging area for troops being sent to France.

The park offers artillery demonstrations.

Designed and built under the supervision of Fountain Branch Carter in 1830, this house was occupied successively by three generations of his family. The Carter House commemorates the tragic Civil War Battle of Franklin, said to have been one of the bloodiest in the 19th century. The Confederates suffered 6,606 casualties. Of the Union forces, 2,326 soldiers were killed. The Carter House was the command post of Major General Jacob D. Cox, Federal field commander of Schofield's delaying action. It became the center of some of the heaviest fighting, and by the morning of December 1, 1864, it had been ravaged by bullets and parts of its roof splintered by cannon. East and south of the house some 13 charges were made by Confederate soldiers. The greatest loss of general officers in the war occurred in this battle on December 1. Nearby, Captain Theodoric Carter, C.S.A., scion of the Carter family, was mortally wounded, and died in the house on December 2.

The Association's museum connects you with 5,000 years of human history in southwest coastal Florida by collecting, preserving, and interpreting the objects and traditions significant to the region's past. Visitors to the 30-acre archaeological site can experience prehistory by stepping inside "A Window to the Past," a unique exhibition about the gulf coast region's earliest people. Florida's pioneer life is explored by living history interpreters and by touring a home built in 1901, a citrus packing house, and Mary's Chapel. Strolling through one of the largest butterfly gardens in the region and the early 1900s formal gardens created by Mrs. Potter Palmer as part of her winter estate are a great way for visitors to learn about Florida's natural environments.

Educational offerings include field trips and hands-on activities related to pioneer life and archaeology. These docent led tours have served over 4,000 students per year since 1982.
