Alcatraz Civil War Day

Historic Prisons

Alison Taggart-Barone/Parks Conservancy

Long before Alcatraz became a federal penitentiary, this isolated island was home to a US Army Fortress and Military Prison. Join volunteers from the Friends of Civil War Alcatraz for a bi-annual day commemorating life on Fort Alcatraz. Special events will include living history demonstrations, live music, and special walking tours.

This event does not require registration, however you must reserve tickets to Alcatraz in advance at alcatrazcruises.com.
