In addition to fantastic historical sites such as Fort Morgan State Historic Site, why not check out the Battle of Mobile Bay Civil War Trail? The trail stretches from the Gulf of Mexico over 90 miles to north Mobile County and documents the military movements and way of life on and around Mobile Bay during the Battle of the Bay (August 1864) and the Overland Campaign (March - May, 1865). A series of interpretive signs at more than a dozen sites offers detailed exploration of the historic events, which restored Mobile and the bay country to the Union.
