Reviews
"The maps are very detailed and nice. The glass could use a cleaning though. I wish the tower location was marked on the grounds. I recommend Patrick Brennan's book Assault on Charleston, which details the battle well and adds to visiting the site."
"Short, but sweet. I was there after several days of rain and found such a variety of mushrooms to admire."
"Nice place for birding with views of the marsh. Great for fall migration. Mosquito spray a must in summer! This is a eBird hotspot."
"Beautiful and serene. Hallowed ground here. Brave men in blue and grey fought and died here."
"Documented as the second most important Civil War site in the state, this fort was the locale of a fierce engagement known as the Battle of Secessionville in which a Confederate force of 1,250 defeated 3,500 Union troops on June 16, 1862. This is one of the few land battle sites fought in the state. Brochures and self-guided hiking trails can be found at the preserve."
