The Coastal Discovery Museum and the Heritage Library have teamed together to offer guided tours of Fort Mitchel behind the gates at Port Royal Plantation on Friday mornings
at 10 AM. (The initial tour was held June 8th).
Fort
Mitchel was constructed in
1862, as part of the outer defenses for Port Royal, South Carolina,
headquarters of the Federal Department of the South and the Union Army X Corps. The guided tour covers the origin,
construction, and operation of the works and describes something of the life of
the garrison during the Union occupation of Hilton Head Island and surrounding
islands of the Low Country throughout the Civil War.
Reservations are requested. Please visit or contact the Coastal Discovery Museum at
