Early Map of Fort Morris near Sunbury in Liberty County
When the Continental Congress convened in 1776, the delegates recognized the importance of a fort to protect their growing seaport from the British. Soon afterwards, a low bluff on the Medway River at Sunbury was fortified and garrisoned by 200 patriots. For further information about this facinating historic site, visit the Fort Morris State Park site.
