Fort Fremont Facilities - Upkeep & Preservation
The Friends of Fort Fremont are committed to keeping the Fort and Park as presentable to the public as possible. We repair any damage we can, covering graffiti, conducting clean-up events, installing brochures, providing tours, and participating in local historic events. Please help us to keep it clean and inviting.
We do not intend to reconstruct the batteries or other structures, except where the public might be endanged. We hope to provide an interesting and relaxing destinaion for locals and visitors alike. The picnic gazebo and beach are available for use during operating hours (dusk to dawn). The History Center houses a diorama depicting the fort at its heyday, as well as other media and information (open mornings Fridays and Sundays, and all day Saturdays).
Interpretive Signage
The descriptive historical signs designed by the Friends have been installed at the Preserve. They are self explanatory, but also coincide with our walking tour app available at the App Store and Google Play. Click QR code at right to download to your phone.

Archaeology
The groundbreaking and construction of the History Center required the SC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) certify an archaeology review of the site to be covered by the building. Surveys and digging have been completed. The report is available from the County and the Friends.

From our work day at Fort Fremont, January 18, 2014. Thanks to all who came out on this COLD day....
The best thing is we got a lot done, and no one complained about gnats! We will need some more outings like this to get the fort in better shape.
Thanks too to AMI Kids--I told them when they arrived that it was really cold, they could go home. They responded,
"NO, we are here to work," and work they did. Thanks to Terry for making the arrangements. Joe Lee, President FFF
