VR Movie: Fort Clinch

Fort Clinch was named for Gen. Duncan Lamont Clinch, an important figure in Florida's Seminole War of the 1830s. Construction of the fort began in 1847. During the Civil War it was occupied by Confederate forces until Gen. Robert E. Lee ordered a retreat. Actors can be seen reenacting military procedures in the courtyard.
