Description

Cannon demonstrations are a great way to learn about the weapons that were used to attack and defend historic Fort Pulaski during the American Civil War.

Experience the roar of cannon fire while Park Rangers narrate the firing process and provide a short program about the 1862 bombardment that breached Fort Pulaski's walls, changing the history of fortifications.

These programs are free, but standard park entry fees apply. For more information, visit the "fees" page of our park website, email fopu_information@nps.gov, or call 912-219-4233. Cannon demonstrations at Fort Pulaski are subject to change based on weather and staff availability.
