How should the Spanish-American Battery at Timucuan Ecological And Historic Park be interpreted?/NPS

How should the staff at Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in Florida guide access and interpretation of the newly acquired Spanish-American War Battery? You're invited to help the staff craft that plan. 

The battery was constructed in April 1898 to protect the mouth of the St. Johns River against the Spanish fleet during tensions between the United States and Spain that resulted in the Spanish-American War of 1898.

The fort, which consists of two concrete gun emplacements and a munitions magazine, was built to emplace two 8-inch breach loading rifles on a strategic river bluff in order to protect Jacksonville, Florida, from naval attack. Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve seeks to provide educational and recreational opportunities for locals and visitors. The National Park Service is developing a plan that provides a conceptual design for parking, trails, signage, and other site amenities intended to support park goals of stewardship and carefully considered public access.

The preserve would like your participation in determining the best way to provide access and interpretation at the site while preserving the historic character of the battery. A virtual meeting will be held on November 12 at 6 p.m. EST. This meeting will provide an opportunity to learn more about this process and to share your input. A link is posted at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/span-am. 

There are several development concerns that the preserve would like to get your input on, including parking, accessibility considerations for pedestrian circulation through the site, views of the fort and river below, and interpretative information opportunities.
