Hidden History of the Dry Tortugas: Writings on the Walls

Time: 3:00 pm til 4:00 pm

Location: Captiva Library

Description: Although much of the military and architectural history of Fort Jefferson is well-documented, there are some interesting details that have not been studied. Historic visitors have left messages on the walls of the Fort using a variety of materials. These inscriptions span the first few decades of the 20th century, a time when the fort was not being officially utilized. This graffiti represents the only records of the Fort being used during periods of its abandonment. This topic is geared towards adults and is open to the public
