Fort Johnson Wildlife and Marine Resources Center on James Island, SC

What is left of Fort Johnson? Erected in the early 1700s, the fort was expanded and improved during the French and Indian War, American Revolution, and War of 1812. During this same time the fort was damaged was natural disasters and storms. By the time of the Civil War only a few remnants remained and Confederates designed earthworks on the site. Today a circa 1820s brick powder mag and a section Confederate earthworks are some of the surviving elements of the fort.
