This bike tour explores the archaeology of Pensacola’s Revolutionary War sites – including remnants of the defenses from the 1781 Siege of Pensacola. We’ll meet at Fountain Park in downtown Pensacola, and then we’ll visit several spots around town that have a connection to the Revolutionary War, including St. Michael’s Cemetery, Fort George Park, and Queen’s Redoubt/Fort San Bernardo. At each stop, an archaeologist will share what we’ve learned about that site through archaeological investigation.
The total bike ride is approximately five miles in length, will be held at a leisurely pace, and will last about two hours (1:00 pm-3:00pm CT). Participants should be comfortable biking up an incline. Participants should bring plenty of water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a bicycle, and a helmet. This tour is recommended for individuals 12 years old and up. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Space is limited, so please get your ticket soon!
