Complete park information about Fort Sumter National Monument is now available on National Park Planner.

The Fort Sumter National Monument preserves two military forts located in Charleston, South Carolina. The most famous, Fort Sumter, is located on an island in Charleston Harbor. The National Park Service has partnered with a private concessionaire that operates boat tours up to six times a day during the peak season, but anyone with their own boat can visit the fort (you can even kayak or canoe to the fort). Fort Moultrie, which in various incarnations saw service from the American Revolution through World War II, is located on Sullivans Island and can be accessed by car thanks to bridges.
