Old Fort Jackson, Savannah

An unexpected and amazing time. The guide and soldier that hosted the tour was the best part. He was a younger gentleman and dawned what appeared to be an authentic uniform of the time period. He gave a very informative tour and history lesson of the fort and surrounding area. He interacted with the children of the group, allowed them to partake in certain aspects of the tour and had a great sense of humor. At the end we were allowed to witness a firing of the cannon inside the fort. The gentleman inside was also very kind and they gave us a discount due to a show being filmed on site. I would gladly pay the original price if it went to the guide. The young man giving the tour not once complained of the heat and the uniform he was wearing even though we all saw him suffering deep inside. I applaud their dedication and I hope the management pays him well. Outstanding job and experience overall.

Awesome experience to see. Definitely recommend going to see the firing of the rifle and cannons. Fair warning they are very loud in firing weapons just for heads up to all. The reenactments were great and well informative. The were friendly and answer many questions we had. The fort is in decent condition and though it is weather that also gives it's charm and feel of the past and what they had to endure back then without current technology. Over all Definitely recommend visiting it and watching the reenactment for sure. Maybe 1 advise is give a signal when the show will start letting all know like ringing a bell or something.
