Summer at Sumter was a hit
Ferry ride was informative and created many great picture taking opportunities. Fort Sumter was well marked for safety and the museum and gift shop was good.

Sumter side trip
Great trip! I have wanted to see Fort Sumter for some time. Boat was clean and on time. I disagree with some of the other reviews which were critical saying trip was too short. I thought the length was fine. It is a very small fort and didn’t take long to see everything.
