This is living history. Is a very well preserved antebellum fortress and the presentation is very interesting. Very much worth the visit for a military history buff such as myself. Full review by Matthew K

Folks keep mentioning a tour guide. Are there actual tours with a specific schedule? Or are there just folks who will show you around if you approach them and ask questions? Thanks!

No tour guide just re enactments and people around the fort to answer any questions You can come and go any time

It’s fairly close to the historic section of Savannah. It’s probably a 10-15 minute drive, mostly along the same road. Signage could be a bit better so keep your eyes out. Once you turn left off the main road, the fort is about a 2 minute drive. The fort sits right on the river. Fort Pulaski is about another 10-15 minute drive on the same main road if you turn left as you exit Fort Jackson.
What all is included with coming during the cannon firing times? I see pictures of kids getting really interactive and id like my children to experience that when we visit.
A:
Cannon firing presentations include a history of the site and its significance. When kids visit, we try to make our programming as interactive as possible, including mock drill and marching.
