The Fort Fisher State Historic Site is the site of the largest amphibious battle during the American Civil War. What remains of the massive Fort Fisher earthworks lies near a visitors center, in addition to the impressive seacoast gun and restored palisade fence. The fully accessible gift shop and visitors center features artifacts recovered from several sunken ships, a number of exhibits, and a short film. Wayside exhibits and guided tours offer historical orientation. There is also a scenic trail that takes visitors past earthworks and around the remains of the fort, and divers can explore the remains of a blockade runner.
