Located on one of those islands, Garden Key, is historic Fort Jefferson. Built in the mid-1800?s, with over 16 million bricks, this is America?s largest coastal fort. Originally constructed to protect the important Gulf of Mexico shipping lanes, Fort Jefferson was used as a military prison during the Civil War. During this time, it was "home" to Dr. Samuel Mudd, who was convicted of complicity in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
