Harvest Time at Fort Mose

Time: 10:00 am til 3:00 pm

Location: Fort Mose State Park

Description: In the fall of 1738, the 100 free Blacks of the newly established Pueblo de Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose celebrated their first harvest and feast of Thanksgiving. The families living at Fort Mose in 1738 had planted vegetables such as pumpkins, squashes, gourdes, beans, lentils and corn. They had also planted fruit trees such as sweet and sour oranges, lemons, figs and persimmons. Many of these crops remain stables of family farms in Saint Johns, Putnam, Clay and Flagler counties even to this day. This event celebrates the emergence of America’s unique culture and traditions from its African, Native American and European roots as Americans in 2014 prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving on November 27, 2014.
