Fort Moultrie – Fort Sumter National Monument – South Carolina

Images of Fort Moultrie, Part of Fort Sumter National Monument – Eastern South Carolina, taken in August 2022.

Providing a defense of Charleston Harbor since 1776, Fort Moultrie is protected as part of Fort Sumter National Monument.

Unlike Fort Sumter, which is located in Charleston Harbor, Fort Moultrie has lower brick walls and incorporates earthen mounds as part of its defensive posture. Both forts have worked in concert to protect the harbor through the Civil War, in the hands of the Confederacy, and both World Wars. Fort Moultrie, the older of the two forts, also successfully stood its ground against a British invasion on June 28, 1776 when it was a simple fortification made of palmetto-log walls. The current masonry incarnation of the fort was developed in the mid-1800s.
