Experience Fort McAllister in Richmond Hill in a whole new light with a guided candlelit tour – an annual tradition since 1988. Living history programs include soldiers performing their evening duties and civilian life during the Civil War. Tours include stops at the blacksmith’s shop, hot shot furnace, hospital, powder magazine, jail and more. The barracks will be open with refreshments and music by the Minick Family. Visitors will also get to see an exclusive nighttime cannon firing.

This is one of Fort McAllister’s best events of the year- so don’t miss it. Rangers mix in a lot of history, some surprises (no jump scares), period music, a little humor, and an overall experience you won’t soon forget.

Cost: $15 per person (ages 2 & younger are free).

Guests are encouraged to leave their flashlights at home in favor of an authentic candlelight setting.

Note: Pre-registration is required for this event by calling the park office at 912-727-2339.
