THE FORT FREMONT DIORMA at the HISTORY CENTER

Our famous diorama is housed in the Fort Fremont History Center at the Preserve on Land's End Road, Saint Helena Island, South Carolina. Beginning April 1st the History Center will be open and staffed on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, and on Saturdays 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
We are proud to display this view of the entire Fort as it existed in the past. It dipicts the layout of the Fort Fremont buildings and grounds, circa 1910. Also included are detailed miniatures of the two batteries, and the disappearing guns which were mounted above the pits below Battery. Thank you for visiting.
