Experience World War II living history at Fort Moultrie this weekend

SULLIVAN’S ISLAND, S.C. (WCBD) – You can experience World War II living history at Fort Moultrie National Historical Park this weekend.

The two-day event, held Nov. 23 and 24, will demonstrate what made up a typical army garrison on the home front in the first half of the 1940s.

Historians will be dressed in period uniforms as they talk about the military police, signal corps, and the women’s army corps.

Sullivan’s Island was home to the Fort Moultrie Reservation which served as headquarters for all coastal defense in the Carolinas from the American Revolution to the end of World War II. The park represents the history of static seacoast defense in the U.S., according to the National Park Service.

Saturday’s event schedule runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. For ticket information or to learn more about the fort, please click here.
