I had remembered Fort Toulouse from my school years when I had to recreate the fort for a school project. i hadn't been in thirty something years and happened to be in Wetumpka the other day. I took the family and dogs by and let them run around by the river and get some exercise. we visited the old fort remains as well as the indian village. The fort itself has little remains but you can picture what it looked like. They have a recreated Creek Indian village on the grounds as well. Situated beside the Tallapoosa River, it is a scenic and peaceful place. I would like one day to visit when they have fort days and the reenactments going on. There are nice facilities and a small museum. There is a two dollar admission to get into the historic park.

This is a very nice park area to take young and older kids. It's really nice to visit during the Fort Days as it provides a view int owhat the area was like 100's of years ago. I always enjoy going on school field trips to Ft. Toulouse with the kids.

I went yesterday (Sunday) with my daughter. It was very tranquil. I learned a lot, and even found tiny shards of ancient pottery on the ground.i definitely want to return with the rest of the family.

Although there's not much left to see here, it is still a sight I would take people visiting. There isn't much to do in wetumpka, so this is a good place to start. I've been a few times, and at least it's a nice walk if you don't get anything out of it

I am a huge history buff and very saddened to see such a significant place in history so run down. Most posts that were supposed to have markers on them were empty, grass so long hard to make out lay of the land. Naturally Beautiful and you can just feel part of the past lingering.

Friendly staff, the facility seemed to a bit run down. Will most likely go back at some point. This is a state run park and maybe the funding is not as it should be. Hopefully this will change soon.

You may want to put this on your to do list since they are in the process of refurbishing and recreating parts of this site. It is still worth a visit in the mean time though. The recreated french fort is at the beginning. The visitors center/ gift shop is next and then you park a little ways up the road. From there you have to walk to the ruins of Fort Jackson where the treaty was signed. This is the part that will be recreated but the ruins are noteworthy in themselves. There are bees around the French fort and mosquitoes every where else. Just take precautions when visiting and enjoy.

Drove past this site on my way to the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory. It was worth the stop. There is a very small visitor's center where you can pick up a map. You can walk outside through a re-creation of the fort, as well as the remains of the old fort.

Fort Touiouse and Fort Jackson Historic Site is a national historic site but is not administered by the National Park Service, so don't look for it on the NPS website. It sits on federal land but is maintained by the Alabama Historical Commission, maybe this is why the historic site is so little known or visited. We went on a warm spring day when the place had only a handful of visitors so we were able to enjoy the reconstructed buildings, wandering paths beneath tall trees hung with Spanish moss and gaze at the confluence of 3 area rivers. Take a picnic as we did and enjoy some quiet time at this backroads park. It is the site of some important but often overlooked U.S. history, going back thousands of years to the time of original Indian tribes, including some mound builders - there is a small Indian Mound on the property. You'll also see reconstructed houses (both summer and winter) of the Creek Indians and the reconstructed French Fort Toulouse, which was built prior to the French and Indian War of 1763. Apparently the French got a long much better with native Indian tribes than the British or Americans ever did. Accounts relate how the Creeks actually invited the French to settle in the area and how their children grew up playing together. When the French lost the war, however, the territory was yielded to the the American who built Fort Jackson (named after Andrew Jackson) as a strategic posting place during the War of 1812. All that remains to be seen of this fort are the earthen embankments and moats with a few reconstructed log fences. Also at the park are a trail dedicated to botanist William Bartram who visited the South in the 1770s, a boat launch, picnic grounds, well-maintained bathrooms, visitor center with gift shop and museum, and a small campground. Admission is only $2 per person. Take the time to learn more about American history and respect those who preceded us. This was a perfect spring day in the South with quiet and warmth in a majestic setting.
