Fort Moultrie

While Fort Sumter tends to attract most of the attention at this national monument, the site is also home to a second fort, Fort Moultrie. Built during the Revolutionary War, this fort on Sullivan’s Island was named after Col. William Moultrie, who defended the partially built fort from a squadron of British warships in 1776.
