Fort McAllister Historic Park
Fort McAllister Historic Park is a 1,725 acre Georgia state park located near Keller and Richmond Hill in South Bryan County, Georgia and on the south bank of the Great Ogeechee River (some parts of the park border the Atlantic Ocean). The sand and mud earthworks were attacked seven times by Union ironclads, but did not fall until captured in 1864 by Gen. William T. Sherman during his March to the Sea. Nestled among giant live oaks and beautiful salt marsh, this park is a quiet location for camping, hiking, fishing and picnicking. The parks Civil War museum features an interior designed to resemble a bombproof, containing exhibits and artifacts, a video and gift shop. Three cottages sit on stilts at the marsh edge, surrounded by palm trees and palmettos. The campground is bordered by tidal Redbird Creek, a boat ramp and nature trail. The park is opened from 7AM-10PM.
