Fort Sumter
If you love history, why not go where the war began? The first engagement of the Civil War took place at Fort Sumter on April 12 and 13, 1861. After 34 hours of fighting, the Union surrendered the fort to the Confederates. From 1863 to 1865, the Confederates withstood a 22-month siege by Union forces. During that time, most of the fort was reduced to brick rubble. Fort Sumter became a national monument in 1948.
The fort, located just 3.3 miles southeast of the City of Charleston, sits on a man-made island of 2.4 acres near the inlet of Charleston Harbor. Visitors arrive via tour boats operated by Fort Sumter Tours. The boats embark from two different locations—Fort Sumter Visitor Education Center at Liberty Square and from Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant.
The Fort Sumter Visitor Education Center at Liberty Square is located in downtown Charleston at the foot of Calhoun Street on the Cooper River. Historic artifacts, museum exhibits and interpretive programs set the stage for your visit to the fort.
