SAVANNAH, GEORGIA – Unsure how to spend your Sunday now that football season is over? We have a solution to that! As part of the Georgia History Festival’s Super Museum Sunday, Fort Pulaski is waiving all admission fees on February 11, 2018. You’re invited to come on down to Fort Pulaski National Monument and enjoy a day of cannon firings, children’s activities, and more.

One of the best preserved examples of coastal fortifications built following the War of 1812, Fort Pulaski is museum in of itself. Join park rangers and staff as they share their knowledge of the monument’s cultural and natural resources. In addition to guided fort tours, there will be children’s games about marsh ecology, authentic Civil War games, living history demonstrations, and a display on the history of Fort Pulaski told through historic photographs. We’ll also be firing the cannon, so you’re sure to have a blast!
