Fort Toulouse-Fort Jackson Park turned back the clock for the 28th annual Alabama Frontier Days. Staff, volunteers, Friends of Fort Toulouse-Fort Jackson and the Alabama History Commission rolled back time to between 1700 and 1820 as the area transitioned from home of the Muscogee Indians to being occupied by the French and Andrew Jackson before his march to Horseshoe Bend.
Reactors created a living history of native American life, French soldier life and that of the U.S. Army all who were in the area. Many frontier crafts and trades are demonstrated by specialists dressed in historic costume.
