Named in honor of Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State, Fort Jefferson was one of a chain of defensive forts built to protect army supplies from American Indians. It served as a supply base throughout the campaigns of Gen. St. Clair and Gen. Anthony Wayne, and was abandoned in 1796.
I like to place my caches near historical/educational areas to make them more interesting. After your find, take your time and read all the historical markers and placards. Enjoy!
