Fort Taylor was constructed in 1845 and served as a Union fortress during the American Civil War. But now, we are taking the "literary license" to transform the fortress into an English stronghold in South Florida. While a fortress did not exist here during the Golden Age of Piracy, our goal is to provide our visitors with a flavor of what it might have been like had there been a fortress here and had pirates been shipwrecked on Cayo Hueso. Fort Taylor is located at the end of Southard St. reached by going through the Truman Annex.
