Not far from the center of Darien was Old Fort King George, the first English fort in Georgia, established in 1721. This is a reconstruction of the original fort, which burned down in 1727. The boundaries between Spanish, French and British America were fuzzy in those days and forts like this helped define those territories. Situated on a swamp by a river, it was probably a mosquito-infested hell, but for us in the 21st century it's a nice place to visit.
Nice to visit in the fall, when it isn’t a mosquito infested hell.
