The focus of the tour is a Spanish American War era Endicott fortification on Saint Helena Island near Beaufort, SC. Located on the shores of Port Royal Sound, an historic waterway of the Southeast Atlantic coast, Fort Fremont was active between 1888 and 1917. Learn about its place in local military history; its namesake - John C. Fremont; the diorama and other models illustrating the Fort as it looked at the turn of the twentieth century; and the volunteer Friends group which has worked diligently to preserve it, raise public awareness, and encourage the construction of an Interpretive Center at the Park.
