Colonial Fort Condé

My wife and I had a wonderful time visiting the fort on Saturday November 16th 2024. There happen to be re-enactment in progress concerning the Revolutionary period. The staff and actors were extremely helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit to the fort. Buy a all in one pass if you are in the area for more than one day.

Very cool place to stop in Mobile. It’s so interesting to see the old with the new in the city. Lots of rooms to show you how the fort was set up when it was in use. Very informative!

Great experience with a lot of history. We made our own candles.

I would personally not pay for this because this is not the original fort. But the first Sunday of every month it is free to visit so take advantage of that. I love historic forts because of the actual bricks and mortar used. I like to touch historic forts and imagine what the soldiers experienced but the original one was destroyed here. A few bricks at the park next door are still there.

Neat colonial experience in downtown Mobile. Buildings were air-conditioned which made the self guided tour much better. Information takes you from the landing of the French up and through the 1800's. Admission is done at the History Museum of Mobile, so be sure to go there first

I visited twice while I was in Mobile and was pretty impressed. The reconstruction is of the inner walls of the fort, but what is left is cool enough to go back and visit a second time. I loved the model recreations of the fort that are on display and our tour was very informative. I'd definitely go back when I'm in town again!

We didn’t know we had to buy tickets at the History Museum across the street so we went in first. Just across the street walk to get tickets so not far. We then went back. It took us about 30 minutes to walk around and see everything but it was beautiful and good history for us and our kids to see. I would recommend.

We visited June 5th, 2022, the first Sunday of each month is free. Normally, your paid admission to The Mobile History Museum includes a tour of Fort Conde. Very cool exhibition, fyi Fort Conde is a reproduction of the original Fort Conde, and that includes lower entrances and doorways because historically, people of the past were much shorter because they did not have the good nutrition, healthcare, and immunizations we have now. My husband is 6’2, seeing him stand next to the doorways was pretty funny. He really enjoyed the exhibits that included swords, guns, cannons, cannonballs, shackles, etc. A good place to take a guy, they love all the old military exhibits. My only complaint was that the building is a little hot in some places, you will feel bits of air conditioning here and there, maybe it is that way because of the way the building is constructed, and air conditioning was not around in the old days. But still fun, I saw people with their children, you can take kids here, the exhibits are well contained that you don’t have to worry about kids breaking anything. One of the kids was yelling inside the brick short doorway because he liked the echo, but I thought it was funny. This place was very informative, it helps seeing this so I can learn about Mobile now that I live here.
