History is alive and well at Fort Toulouse-Fort Jackson Park where Creek Indians, French Marines and American Soldiers have all left their marks. Frequent living history programs showcase a 1751 French fort, recreated Creek Indian houses and the partially restored 1814 American Fort Jackson. A 1,000-year-old Mississippian mound overlooks the Coosa River. The William Bartram Nature Trail and the early 19th-century Graves House Visitor Center weave even more strands into this colorful tapestry of one of Alabama's most unique archaeological sites. Fort Toulouse/Fort Jackson Park is a historic property of the Alabama Historical Commission - http://ahc.alabama.gov/properties/fttoulouse/fttoulouse.aspx
