Fort Moultrie's history covers 171 years of seacoast defense, including
the first decisive victory in the American Revolution and the firing onto
Fort Sumter during the first battle of the Civil War. The third Fort Moultrie,
built in 1809, stands today. By touring the fort, visitors can see how
coastal defenses have evolved.
