We stopped a Fort Pulaski on our trip from Ohio to Florida and the stop was well worth it. The fort is in excellent condition (a lot of times it seems there isn't much left of a place that's historical). The tour is a must as you will learn 10x as much as opposed to just walking around. You can... more

We also loved the informative movie, the gun demonstration, and walking around the inside and outside of the fort. Be sure to look for the cannon ball holes/indentations, and for the alligators in the moat! I would suggest bug repellant if you plan to walk around the outside, to keep the "no see ums" away, and good walking shoes! more

If one is interested in history, particularly Civil War buffs, this is a place one must visit. With the grounds been almost completely open for one to explore (with the only exception being a few of the rooms in the fort, i.e. the quartermasters store and officers barracks), one can easily spend a couple hours just meandering around the park... more

We spent 3 hours here and loved every minute of it. We had resarched it before our trip and magnificence of it didnt let us down. The history was facinating and the views spectacular. I especially loved the indentations of the cannon balls in the brick walls. The ground were flawless and the little trail to the John Wesley memorial... more

I spent a week in the Savannah/Charleston area and Ft Pulaski was the highlight. The tour was brief and informative. The guide was able to give an enormous amount of interesting information in a short time. It was almost chilling to be in a place where so much history took place. You can almost hear the cannons firing and officers... more

We arrived at 1pm, we made it just in time to watch the informative 20 minute video (highly reccomended) to get the history of the fort in the visitor center. We thought the interesting mounds/tunnels in the front were totally cool. Inside the main fort we saw all the different rooms, bunks, powder magazine and the important places. At 2:00... more

Projectile shaped artillery from Union guns crumbled one wall of Fort Pulaski signaling the end of the fort as invincible fortress and adding to the Confederate forces losses - although few casualties. Robert E. Lee served his first assignment here constructing the fort. Especially wonderful is the access to the ramparts (hold your young kids' hands here, please) from which... more
