From the July 2, 2016, Gwinnett (Georgia) Daily Post by Curt Yeomans.
The Fort Daniel Foundation's President Jim D'Angelo has ideas for an architectural park at the Fort Daniel site located on Braselton Highway.
It was built by Georgia state military during the War of 1812 as a defensive position on Hog Mountain along what is today Braselton Highway near Buford in 1813. There was no Gwinnett County back then, but the area was located right across from Indian territory at the time.
Volunteers of the foundation and the Georgia Archaeological Research Society have run the site as an education area since signing a lease with the county to run it.
