Fort Morris State Historic Site was built to defend the former town of Sunbury, once a bustling seaport second in Georgia only to Savannah. Fort Morris was used as a coastal fortification during the Revolutionary War. The earthen works were reconstructed during the War of 1812 and were later used as a Civil War Encampment. The site's museum features displays of civilian and military life during Georgia's Colonial, Revolutionary, and Antebellum past. It also offers visitors a fascinating video, entitled Sunbury Sleeps, and self-guided tours of the 200-year-old earthen works. During periodic special events, reenactments bring Fort Morris alive with roaring cannons and the measured tread of marching soldiers.

The Midway Museum was built in the raised cottage-style structure, typical of 18th century plantation homes. It houses numerous exhibits, documents and furnishings that were used in coastal Georgia homes between colonial days and onset of the Civil War.

The cemetery is the final resting place for numerous Revolutionary Soldiers, including two generals and governor. During the Civil War, the strong barrier walls were used as a corral for animals pilfered from area plantations by Sherman and his soldiers.
