Historic Blakeley State Park
The park is situated in one of the most ecologically diverse sections of Alabama, and it is dedicated to preserving its natural setting as a unique wildlife preserve. The park traces its origins to 1974 when the 3,800-acre Blakeley Historic Site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The park currently focuses much of its historical interpretation on the story of the town of Blakeley and the Battle of Fort Blakeley, which was the last major battle of the Civil War. Park visitors can explore several miles of unspoiled Confederate and Union fortifications associated with the battle.
