Fort McAllister, Confederate earthwork fortification in Richmond Hill, Georgia.
Fort McAllister contains defensive earthworks, cannon emplacements, bombproof barracks, and a hot shot furnace along the banks of the Ogeechee River.
The fort defended Savannah through seven Union ironclad attacks until December 1864, when General Sherman's forces captured it during the March to the Sea.
The Civil War museum at Fort McAllister displays military artifacts, uniforms, weapons, and educational materials about Confederate coastal defense strategies.
The 1,725-acre park features camping facilities, boat ramps, fishing docks, nature trails, and seven rental cottages positioned near the salt marsh.
The fort demonstrates how earthen walls effectively absorbed artillery fire, making it the most successful example of Confederate earthwork engineering.
