Georgia's Former Army Base Is Now A National Monument With Civil War Relics And Historic Trails

The U.S. state of Georgia may be best known for its bustling capital city, Atlanta, but the Peach State is also rich in history, being home to hundreds of Civil War battle sites. On Cockspur Island just outside Savannah, often called the friendliest U.S. city by tourists, sits a 19th-century fort known as Fort Pulaski. Once the site of a major siege during the Civil War, today the fort is a registered National Monument with historical relics and seaside trails open to the public. Visitors can explore the fort grounds inside and out via Ranger tours or self-guided discovery, learn something new at the Visitor Center, and walk and bike along scenic hiking paths.
