The Friends of Fort Fremont worked with Beaufort County to achieve the goal of an interpretive history center at the site. We would not have reached this point without the many volunteers who contributed countless hours in pursuit of our mission to preserve and promote the educational, historical, natural, and cultural resources of the Fort Fremont Preserve. To this end, volunteers have conducted historical research, site cleanup, website and social media design, community outreach, exhibitions, docent tours, tree identification and landscape plan, dioramas, an award-winning documentary, and much more.
