Fort James Jackson is Georgia’s oldest standing fort. It is located in Savannah, built as a replacement to the 1776 fort that the locals constructed. This fort has provided protection to residents especially during 1812, when the British forces were attacking the area non-stop. It also served as a Confederate fort during the American Civil War, where it has seen a great amount of wartime activity.

In 1924, Fort James Jackson was acquired by the city of Savannah. They initially aimed to transform it into a park, which it has been ever since. They have finished restoring the site in the 1970s and had it declared as a National Historic Landmark in the year 200.
