Description
Follow the sound of cannon fire along the Savannah River to Old Fort Jackson, a brick fort (and National Historic Landmark) nearly two hundred years old that once was a key defensive post during the American Civil War. These days the cannon fire is friendly of course, either a salute to passing military vessels or part of the daily summer demonstration, but visitors to the fort can get a glimpse at least of what life might have been like when occupied by troops on a wander around the parade ground and a look inside open rooms. Be sure to enjoy the view of the river from the upper battle area before you sally forth.
