Fort Pulaski Wednesday May 25th

Today we visited Tybee Island located about 18 miles east of Savanna GA. This is Fort Pulaski which building was begun in 1829 and took 18 years to complete. Over 25 million bricks were used to build this structure. It was occupied by both sides during the Civil War. The fort is named after Count Casimir Pulaski, the Polish hero of the American Revolution.
