Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve is a United States National Preserve located in Jacksonville that preserves more than 46,000 acres of the last remaining unspoiled coastal wetlands along the United States' Atlantic Ocean coastline. The preserve was originally established in 1988 to protect more than 6,000 years of natural and human history at the site and was significantly expanded in 1999 through the works of Preservation Project Jacksonville. Today, the site includes several free visitor attractions, including the 19th-century Kingsley Plantation, which is open to the public and showcases an historic plantation estate and a row of slave cabins. Visitors can also explore Fort Caroline National Memorial, which preserves the remains of a failed French settlement along the banks of the St. Johns River.
