#### Study military architecture and encounter stories from the American Civil War at this well-preserved fortification, scenically located on a Savannah River island.

Savannah is a port city with a long and rich past. Experience some of both when you visit Fort Pulaski National Monument, a fascinating historical site on tiny Cockspur Island. Explore the well-maintained remnants of the fort, which was a site of action during the Civil War. Enjoy a scenic stroll around the island’s lovely parklands.

Fort Pulaski was built between 1829 to 1847 in order to defend against invasion by sea. The fort is named for Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman who died supporting the Revolutionary War effort.

As you arrive at Cockspur Island, stop to appreciate this strategic position at the mouth of the Savannah River. Admire the mighty fortifications, where an estimated 25 million bricks were used to construct walls up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) thick.

All this impressive masonry was important yet ultimately unsuccessful for defense during the Civil War, when the Confederate-held fort was attacked by Union forces and overtaken within just 30 hours. Head to the southeast corner to see a wall that still bears damage caused by the Union’s state-of-the-art weaponry as the northern forces sped to an unexpectedly straightforward victory. Once the fort was captured, Union Major General David Hunter ordered the release of area slaves, months before Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

Join a ranger-led tour of the fort’s interior and observe one of the historical reenactments or weapons demonstrations that regularly happen on site. Stop at the visitor center to watch an introductory film or browse exhibits about Fort Pulaski’s history.

Roam more than 5,000 acres (2,000 hectares) of parkland around the fort. Hike past lush vegetation and picturesque marshland, watching for migratory birds and white-tailed deer. Take a photograph of the Cockspur Island Lighthouse, located on a shell-covered island accessible only at low tide.

Find Fort Pulaski National Monument about 14 miles (22 kilometers) east of historic Savannah, close to Tybee Island. Guided tours are available twice a day. Entry is free for guests under 16 years old. Wheelchair-accessible parking is available at the visitor center.

Over priced. Has beautiful grounds but too crowded. Pay all that money and you can't even get a chair by the pool. Inside it is dark and uncomfortable. Great location by Forsythe Park. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
