Fort Johnson, Charleston Overview

Fort Johnson was constructed upon James Island in the early 18th century. It was named after the Proprietary Governor of the Carolinas, Sir Nathaniel Johnson. The entire fortification consisted of three and more forts and structures, most of which were destroyed due to various factors. The fort did not see much activity in the 18th century but later witnessed the American Civil War and its very beginning. That was perhaps the time when new structures were built, and the fort was used the most. Unfortunately, a brick magazine made in the early 19th century is the only stable structure that remains of all the structures. Tours of the site are available, explaining the historical background of the fort.
