The Fort Moultrie Visitor Center on Sullivan's Island is a contemporary structure designed to introduce visitors to the long and varied history of this significant coastal fortification. The building likely features interpretive displays, interactive exhibits, and artifacts that tell the story of Fort Moultrie's evolution from a palmetto log fort in 1776 to its final form as a World War II coastal defense installation. Inside, visitors can expect to find detailed information about key historical events associated with the fort, including its role in the American Revolution, the Civil War, and subsequent conflicts. The center probably includes exhibits on notable figures connected to the fort, such as Osceola, the Seminole leader who was imprisoned and died there, and Edgar Allan Poe, who was stationed at the fort as a soldier.
