Located near Savannah, Fort Pulaski played a pivotal role in the American Civil War. In 1862, Union forces successfully tested a rifled cannon against the fort’s brick walls—marking a revolutionary moment in military technology. The breach demonstrated that traditional masonry fortifications were no longer effective, forever changing the future of warfare. Today, visitors can explore the fort’s well-preserved structure, scenic trails, and interpretive exhibits that bring this historic event to life.
