" The inhabitants of the town wentout on the 25th [September 1738] withthe General and cut a road through the woods down to the soldiers fort..."
Gentleman's Magazine
January 1739

In front of you lies the trace of the historicMilitary Road - a critical link betweenFrederica and Fort St. Simons at the southern tip of the island.

Townspeople and soldiers built the road,hacking through six miles of thick woodsand marshes in three days. Since the work was done without pay, General Oglethorperewarded the workers with a round of drinks.

On July 7, 1742, Frederica's defenders marched down this road and encounteredthe Spanish grenadiers whom they defeatedat Gully Hole Creek and Bloody Marsh.
