The Christmas holiday was celebrated in many ways by those who spent time at the Savannah fort. Join in as park staff explore how the holiday was celebrated by Union and Confederate soldiers, lighthouse keepers, the members of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and more. Visitors will have the unique experience of a guided tour, the chance to sample hot cider, eggnog, and cookies. Sing a Christmas carol or two and a catch a nighttime cannon firing. This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn about the past and celebrate the festive season.
