Part of Fort Fisher still stands

Part of Fort Fisher still stands is one of the facts about the battle of Fort Fisher.

10% or so of Fort Fisher is still in its original condition. The ocean has eroded a significant portion of the Fort's original defenses over time because most of the Fort was constructed from sand and earth. A few mounds are still standing, though. A 9-foot-tall palisade fence encircled the fort during the conflict.

A tiny section of the old fort is still standing today, along with historical recreations, displays, and memorials. Additionally, you can discover more about the adjacent cities of Wilmington and the Cape Fear region of North Carolina before and during the first and second Fort Fisher battles. On-site is also a seacoast cannon that has been refurbished and is in use.
