Brunswick Town / Fort Anderson

A pre-Revolutionary port, Brunswick was razed by the British in 1776 and never rebuilt. Then, during the Civil War, Fort Anderson was constructed on part of the village site. Colonial foundations dot the tour trail, which crosses the earthworks of the confederate fort. The serene riverside setting, colonial and Civil War history, and visitor center exhibits make a memorable outing.
