Fire crackles at the heart of Fort Jackson, producing a brilliant atmosphere.
Cracked brick walls, rusted stairs, the clank of red-hot metal in the blacksmith’s shop.
Countless students roam about Fort Jackson’s walls, chattering and taking in the ambience.

The light from the fire pit, fluctuating as the wind blows against it, radiates into the dark sky.
Old, dimming light bulbs flicker, producing waning rays of light that dimly light the fort.
The eerie moonlight, hiding behind the clouds give the atmosphere of Fort Jackson a slight twinge of suspense.

Weaving above and into the crowd, the cannon’s explosion bursts into the night, penetrating our eardrums.
The blare of the trumpet, periodic popping at the fire pit, the barking of soldiers.
The swishing and sloshing of the Savannah River’s waters, and the persistent buzzing of mosquitoes shows the conditions of the Civil War.

Do the cries of wounded soldiers still haunt this fort?
How did Fort Jackson withstand this toll of war?

Fort Jackson grasps you and will take you on a journey back in time, throwing you the harsh conditions of the Civil War.
