Ft Pulaski

We ended our trip by visiting Ft. Pulaski.  Fort Pulaski National Monument is located between Savannah and Tybee Island. It preserves Fort Pulaski, where in 1862 during the American Civil War, the Union Army successfully tested a riffled cannon, the success of which rendered brick fortifications obsolete. The fort was also used as a prisoner of war camp. The National Monument includes most of Cockspur Island (containing the fort) and all of adjacent McQueens Island.









This kid hasn't slept in the car in over 4 years....so I think this was a successful trip!
