06 Fort Pulaski National Monument – Savannah
Fort Pulaski is the site of a Union Army Civil War victory. This victory marks the first time that rifled cannons were used in combat. Rifling increased speed, stability and accuracy, and effectively ended the usefulness of stone and brick fortifications. The fort is well-preserved with beautiful grounds ideal for a stroll. Walk the ramparts and parapets for a dramatic exposure to military life and the surrounding land. Hike the nature trails, stop in the museum and pick up some memorabilia at the gift shop. A word to the wise traveler: bring insect repellent.
