I've been here before, but still get a feeling of pain at the tragedy that became the great American Civil War. Looking out over the water at Fort Sumter brought it all into perspective. This is an important site, but without interpreters or a visitors center open, it is hard to really give it the attention that it deserves.

Great place to visit! Just be careful on the Island in general as the local police LOVE handing out tickets for just about anything.

Ft. Sullivan or Ft. Moultrie was our first naval victory against the British in the Revolutionary War. Nothing remains of the original fort, but this is sacred ground and well kept by the National Park Service. Lot’s of things to see and a safe place for kids to run about.

The Visitor Center is terrific. The displays are nicely presented, and the signage is excellent. There is a film, which, if possible, should be viewed before you walk the Visitor Center or the Fort. The Fort, itself, is very nice and interesting, again, with excellent signage.

We visited here Feb 2020. Fort Moultrie is on Sullivan's Island, SC across the harbor from Charleston. This palmetto log fort was built in 1776 in the defense of Charleston and went through many changes over its lifetime from the Revolutionary, !812, Civil, WWII. Very nice visitor center offering inside & fort tours. We took a self guided tour this day. Interesting transformation over this span of American history. Very kid friendly. Lots of walking over changing elevations. Wheelchair accessibility to fort's interior. Open 9am-5pm every day. No admission to visitor center. Entry to the fort $10. Tours of Fort Sumter are from nearby Patriot's Pint in Mt. Pleasant & Charleston.…
