Since 2011, the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) Coordinating Center office in Pensacola, Florida has partnered with the National Park Service staff at Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) to develop and implement a public program called Tour de Fort. This guided bicycling tour was created by FPAN with the goal to promote public appreciation for the numerous terrestrial and underwater archaeological resources located within the Fort Pickens Area of GUIS. Tour de Fort has remained a popular and well attended program over the years. Based on public demand, other guided tours were developed using Tour de Fort as a model. However, until recently, the actual quality and impact of this public archaeology program on its participants was not well understood. This article examines how Tour de Fort and other guided archaeology tours provided by FPAN are organized; highlights the ways in which specific interpretative techniques are implemented; and provides the methods, results, and recommendations from a formal assessment that was conducted to measure its impact on participants.
