Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park — Attraction in Sullivan's Island

If you are a Confederate/ Rebel I would skip this tour. Going to see Fort Sumter isn't worth hearing the blatant bias from the tour guides / so called "Park Rangers". They do make a point to remind you how they are employed by the Federal Government at least. The tour kind of reminded me of a ride at a amusement park with some added rehearsed dialog that they probably use every single tour. Also Ranger Summers tries to convince people that babies just old enough to crawl helped make the bricks that built Fort Sumter just because there are tiny fingerprints in some of the bricks but fails to remind people that the Federal Government built and occupied the fort until they got ran off at the start of the war. In his speech that glorifies Lincoln he should let everyone know what Lincoln's exact thoughts of Black people were & how we could not co exist with them, you know just to make it fair. It was a pro Yankee tour & that isn't a joke or a over...

It was an ok experience overall, mainly because I helped lower the flag. The island itself offers a bit of walking around, but since there isn't much left of it, there isn't much to see. The gentleman who told the history by the flag was great and very informative. The flag lowering at last trip of the day was nice, though besides the folding of it, there was no salute or anything else, which I honestly expected as it's symbolism is so meaningful and should be impactful.

The museum was small and I felt like was a repeat of what the man had said at the flag pole. The original flag being present was pretty cool to see.

Something to do, a nice boat ride over, but really not something I'd recommend doing more than once really. Unless you really like story and...

I thought the ferry price of 37$ was a bit high. Purchase tickets online or at the NPS building at the docks. My particular ride was in February and was quite full about 200 people. The ferry does have a warm inside room that has a snack stand. The island itself is quite spread out, but the actual museum is small and stuffy . With 200 people there half at any given time fill the inside museum. It gets cramped. All in all a neat place to visit if you love US history. The rangers are great and knowledgeable. The ferry ride is about 30 minutes and views of the harbor and dolphins along the way will happen. Don’t forget to get your stamp if you’re a NPS...
