During the American Civil War, the Battle of Natural Bridge was fought here on March 6, 1865. The site is named for a natural bridge over the St. Marks River. The Civil War Trust, a division of the American Battlefield Trust, and its partners have acquired and preserved 110 acres of the battlefield park.[https://www.battlefields.org/preserve/saved-land] Land Saved by the American Battlefield Trust. accessed May 18, 2018.
