Dedicated volunteers handle Fort Matanzas Visitor Center. They will usually be the first people to welcome you to our park, unless you explore our nature trails and encounter one of our rangers. Volunteers are essential to our park operations and are a wealth of information. Upon arrival to the Visitor Center they will provide you with a boarding pass for the next available ferry and encourage you to explore the exibit room behind the desk. In it you will find a rotating slide show of fort history and area park activities, a bronze model of Fort Matanzas, and a touch box to explore. The Visitor Center will also have information about the park resources, weather, and upcoming special events, as well as a stamping station for the National Park Passport. Stop in and say hello!

Preservation

The mission of the National Park Service as Congress defined it, was basically two-fold; to preserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects, and the wildlife, and to do that in such a way that it is preserved for the enjoyment of future generations.
