He was very knowledgable and dedicated. The other staff was very nice too. We didn't have time to get to all the forts in the region but it was nice to be able to access mostly all of the fort and it was only ten dollars a person. Definitely a nice place to stop and explore on the drive down further south.

I’ve attended many historical re-enactments and forts, however this is by far one the best experiences I have ever had. The guide, Sgt Bradford did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the fort and answering questions. I am so glad I was able to attend. I highly recommend for anyone to stop and check this place out. You will not be disappointed!!

Pvt. Baker did an outstanding job, explaining in easy-to-understand detail, every topic he covered. Very informative. Very professional. Very knowledgable. Very entertaining. He even held the attention of the children in the tour audience. And a VERY accomplished musician (bugler) as well. Great job, Pvt. Baker. Thanks very much!

Many historic sites are lifeless, crumbling buildings. Not Old Fort Jackson. Aaron Bradford breathes life into this magnificent place! From the spot overlooking the beautiful Savannah River, he told us the stories of its relevance through time. He demonstrated and had volunteers signal with flags that could be seen for miles. At the cannon, he got everyone engaged in the firing. He demonstrated historical medicine. In the parade grounds, he brought it all together with a meaningful talk about why it mattered then and now. Highly recommended!

This fort is very small and from the outside doesn’t seem too impressive. However, the staff really makes it shine! The gentleman who gave us our tour was dressed in a traditional solder uniform and was so knowledgeable about the fort’s history that his presentation was captivating. He was very much in character and showed us the firing of a musket along with a canon firing. The rooms looked in tact and had informative posters to show us what the rooms were used for. We ended up staying for several hours and our ten year old loved every minute! I don’t remember our tour guide’s name but he is the one in the picture and was absolutely wonderful!

Went with boys age 9 and 13 and was not sure what to expect. We arrived just before 2 to see the cannon fire demonstration and it did not disappoint. They typically do 2 a day at 11 and 2. However, it’s not a 5 minute affair. You actually get a full theatrical reenactment by a staffer who tells you the complete story/ history as part of the demonstration. It’s 2 parts. You start outside the fort with a speech and firing. Then you go inside the fort to different areas to discuss all the artillery and how it was used, ending with firing of the howitzer ( very loud!) The entire demonstration was about 30-45 mins, so younger kids may lose interest. However, there is audience participation and the staff encourage you to ask questions. Many items on display are hands on, which is also very cool. If you just want to walk the grounds, this is also easy to do and would take about 30mins to 1 hr. If you love history, take the time to visit this location.

My two teenage boys and I took a short spring break trip to Savannah and this was the highlight! So much so that we went two days. The fort is somewhat small but has an interesting story. Be sure to time your visit for the daily cannon firings, and if possible, be there for the once-monthly firing of the oldest cannon still is use in the US. The re-enactors are extremely knowledgeable and approachable, and they present the story of the fort in a very immersive way.

We had a great time despite the heat. The displays were very detailed and informative. Our presenter, pvt Egart was knowledgeable and happy to answer our multiple questions. I will definitely suggest this fort to anyone visiting Savannah.

This was a gem of a visit. The historical interpreter gave a very interesting and comprehensive history of the fort, There were also demonstrations of musket and canon drills together with live firing. We were there at least 2 hours and it was not over busy. The admission price makes this the best day out around Savannah.

Visiting Old Fort Jackson on Memorial Day was an exceptional experience for my family and me. We had the privilege of witnessing a historically accurate reenactment of the Revolutionary War, complete with cannon fire, engaging actors, and infantry drills. If you find yourself in Savannah, I highly recommend adding Old Fort Jackson to your itinerary.
