Fort Fremont Battery, located in Beaufort County, South Carolina, is historically significant as an example of late nineteenth and early twentieth century military architecture and as one of two surviving coastal fortifications in the United States intact from the Spanish–American War era.^[2]^[3] The fort was named after John C. Fremont, the first presidential candidate of the Republican Party in 1856. Later, Fremont was a Civil War general. This very accessible landmark was decommissioned and sold at public auction by the War Department in 1930. Fort Fremont Battery was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on May 5, 2010.^[1]
