Constructed between 1839 and 1844, historic Fort Barrancas was one of four forts built to protect the Pensacola Navy Yard. Located on board present-day Naval Air Station Pensacola, the artfully designed and beautifully preserved six-million brick fortification expanded on an earlier Spanish-built structure, Fort San Carlos. This National Historic Landmark saw battle during the Civil War, and is considered one of the best preserved brick forts in the U.S. An experienced Gulf Islands National Seashore park ranger takes viewers on a guided tour. The program is hosted by Sherri Hemminghaus Weeks.
