46th Annual Candle Lantern Tour

Saturday, Oct 4, 2025 (6:40 PM to 10 PM)

The fort comes alive by the warm glow of candlelight. Follow your guide through the grounds and witness dramatic camp scenes, musket and cannon firings, the clang of the blacksmith’s forge, and the harsh realities of Civil War–era medical care. Venture into eerie bunkers and peek inside the barracks where the Fort’s Major once lived.

This premier event has been a tradition since 1979! Tours depart every 20 minutes for a night of history, mystery, and unforgettable sights. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your tour, as we’ll be following a strict schedule. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today by calling 912-727-2339.
