Gulf Islands National Seashore Candlelight Program

Description

Leading the candlelit education process will be park rangers, volunteers and most significantly members of the Youth Conservation Corps.  The Fort Pickens candlelight tour will focus on the Civil War years to literally present the sights, the smells, the sounds of the era so attendees can better understand what the soldiers went through in 1861.  Dress appropriately and bring drinking water and a flashlight.  The program is a rain or shine event and is free.  There is an entrance fee for the Fort Pickens area.  For additional information, please contact the national seashore at 934-2600.
