Ok, so no one gets too excited about going to the library, but the employees here are SO nice…read more As a visitor to the GS area, I needed to print some documents. I have a library card to MY public library, but it was 15 hours north. No worries. I asked for help and they delivered. They assigned me a temporary computer password, I logged in, set up the print job and they printed it for me. I paid for my prints and I was on my way. They were SO NICE! Sadly, I would probably not get this kind of customer service at my home library. They need to take some lessons on customer service from TBNPB.

I wish I'd had an extra hour to look at all the artifacts and read everything in the museum, but with three kids under four, no way. Definitely plan to spend a half day here. There are restrooms and access to the beach, but no food (and no food allowed in the museum).

I thought it was super cool and really enjoyed walking around it. Both times I went it wasn't open, which is disappointing. Looks very neat inside.

Interesting spot that serves the Magnolia Springs community. They have events that look quite nice…read more The historic building dates back to 1894 when it was built.

They explain it all on one the historic markers inside the fort. Fort Gaines is one of the better kept up forts that i have been to amongst my travels around 'Merica. The cost is 10.00 per person unless you have an old or very young person discount. You pay in the gift shop where you can get the usual fair before entering the fort. Inside, you can follow the pamphlet along a self-guided tour. They have barracks for the various ranks, a kitchen, bakery, different gunports and tons of markers talking about the history of the fort and various battles in Mobile Bay. There is a small museum inside the fort too and it focuses on Dauphine Island as a whole not just the fort. Don't forget to check out the old latrine but don't use it if you are shy and if there is low tied. No seriously don't use it, it's frowned upon by the staff and there is no TP.
