Fort McAllister

Got to see another earthen fort, located south of Savannah on the banks of the Ogeechee River, this park showcases the best-preserved earthwork fortification of the Confederacy. The earthworks were attacked seven times by Union ironclads but did not fall until 1864 -- ending Gen. William T. Sherman’s “March to the Sea.” 

Pilings in the ground that surrounded the fort.

There was multiple layers inside the fort.

Just one of several cannons at the fort.

Looking over the river from the top of the fort.

The walk going to the fort.

Enlisted housing, maybe 4 to 6 men would share this small building.

Blacksmith shop.

Hot shot oven.

McAllister's home and Officer housing.

Ammo bunker.

The ammo was very well protected.

Food!!

This is the same rifle I fired at Fort Pulaski.

I don't think the picnic tables where there during the War.
