 This is Battery Backus as it looks today* The Objectives of the Fort Screven Preservation Organization Are:
To Acquire, Preserve and Restore historically significant structures on Tybee Island, Georgia, concentrating on Fort Screven Gun Batteries, fortifications, and related structures that were constructed prior to 1920, with the final disposition of the properties to be granted to a governmental entity such as the National Park Service or the City of Tybee Island or another non-profit organization such as the Tybee Island Historical Society, so that these properties will be continually preserved and maintained for historical interpretation in perpetuity. Hopefully, we will be able to Completely Restore these gun batteries with period representative Artillery or replica guns with ADA accessible walkways and ramps so that everyone can enjoy exploring these unique and irreplacable structures. * This is what we want Battery Backus to look like Photograph of Ft. Casey, Waswhington courtesy of CDSG Action Plan:
To publicize the purpose and objectives to interested foundations, trusts, departments of the local, state and national government, other grantor organizations, and individuals that would be able to provide the necessary capital to accomplish the objectives. | Please use these Links to learn more about Fort Screven and Tybee Island, Ga.
