Visitors will leave the fort and occupy a safe area to view the short but bloody 15minute battle. A tour will be held right after the battle at which time the visitors will view the destruction of war first hand. 

 
Fort McAllister State Historic Park is located on Spur 144 in Richmond Hill, Georgia.
