Step back in time and explore the iconic eras of Fort Pulaski National Monument through the lens of one of today's biggest cultural phenomena: Taylor Swift’s Eras! Join Park Ranger, Shannon Rowe, as we celebrate 100 years since President Calvin Coolidge declared Fort Pulaski a national monument. Just as Taylor Swift's music chronicles different periods of her life, Fort Pulaski’s history is marked by distinct eras, each filled with transformation, challenges, and lasting impact.
Starting from its "Debut" era, when the fort was first conceived in response to the War of 1812, to the battles and conflicts that shaped its reputation, you'll learn how this historic site became an enduring symbol of resilience. We’ll draw parallels between Swift's albums and the fort's journey—reflecting on themes of conflict, growth, and legacy that transcend time. From its turbulent "Red" era during the Civil War to its "Reputation"-building bombardments, Fort Pulaski has witnessed dramatic moments that cemented its place in history.
Come for the history, stay for the music, and reflect on the legacy that connects us all. This special tour is one you won’t want to miss as we mark a century of preservation and look forward to the future of Fort Pulaski.
