Very well kept up historical fort. It's on its own island called Ship Island and you get to travel out there by ferry and see all of the beauty. There's also a beach that's right off the Gulf on the other side of this little Island where you can find find the best shells

Fort Massachusetts is a perfectly intact Civil War era fort that was engaged lightly before abandoned by the confederacy. It was the staging ground for the US New Orleans Campaign. It also is an immaculate fort of the middle 1800’s.
Worth a peek but remember that the fort tours are right after the boat arrivals. They also take most of the time between a 12 midday tour boat departure and a 230 departure. If your looking for a massive piece of American history, this isn’t it. But if your looking for a intact fort in the region, pique your history interest, or just to take a break. This may be just for you.

Very interesting place. A lot of history behind it, when you inside, it feels like you are back in time. To get there, you have to use Ship Island Ferry. Be sure to check out their schedule, because it departs only twice a day. And when you are inside the fort, pay attention to the flags, count the stars

Very impressive. Lots of history. Since it is a national park, federal law enforcement was present. Well maintained and helpful park rangers.
