Fort Mose was founded in March 1738. Community citizens labored long hours during that year, building their homes and a fort, planting crops and tending livestock. They survived on food rations provided by the Spanish government, until they were able to harvest food from their own gardens.Fort Mose First Harvest is a joyous event that recreates a typical autumn festival with 18th century Spanish Florida. This is an immersive experience, typically including reenactors in period dress, foodways demonstrations, militia muster, and traditional trades and crafts.
