Review & FAQ:

Fort Moultrie was constructed as a series of defense fortresses meant to protect Charleston. The fort was originally named Fort Sullivan and was the inspiration for the South Carolina flag and the state’s nickname “The Palmetto State.” The historic fort is the only part of the National Park System where is it possible to trace the entire history of the American coastal defense since 1776. Fort Moultrie has been restored in efforts to portray major battles that the fort was involved in from 1776 through World War II.
