‒‒ Fort Christmas Historical Park | Christmas, FL ‒‒
Welcome to another episode of Adventures With The Cohns. On today's adventure, we’re heading to Fort Christmas Historical Park in Christmas, FL. We're visiting Fort Christmas just days before Christmas, so we were hoping for some Christmas spirit. Let's explore what Fort Christmas has to offer.
Here's some history about Fort Christmas:
A full-scale replica of Fort Christmas was built by Orange County Parks and Recreation, in cooperation with the Fort Christmas Historical Society in the late 1970s; it was dedicated in 1977. Located just south of Christmas Creek, the site is probably less than 1 mile (1.6 km) from the location of the original fort.
A small museum within the walls of the re-created fort displays US military, Seminole Indian and pioneer artifacts dating from the Seminole War period, including weapons, clothing, tools, household appliances and other items. In addition to the life-size replica of the fort, the park also features a growing number of restored "Florida Cracker" houses and farm buildings furnished with original and reproduction period pieces that show rural Florida life from the 1870s through the 1930s.
Other restored structures in the park include a 1906 school and it’s lunch room.
Fort Christmas Park has picnic areas as well as facilities for baseball, basketball, tennis and a children's playground. The park hosts a number of events each year, including the annual "Cracker Christmas" in December and a bluegrass music festival in late March. The Fort Christmas Historical Park is operated by the Fort Christmas Historical Society and Orange County Parks and Recreation.
We enjoyed taking the girls here and love seeing the different homes that were built, the Fort that was replicated for everyone to see, viewing what the post office looked like and seeing some animals roam around.
No matter what level you're at when it comes to adventures, in this video we share what Fort Christmas is all about, amazing views of the Fort and buildings, kids having fun leading the way and how a family can enjoy adventuring together during Christmas. ❤️

This fort and many others in Florida were bases of operation for the forced removal of Native Americans from the state to the Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. Several clans retreated to the Everglades to avoid capture.
