Fort Monroe has Breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay, a lovely waterfront landscape and plenty of open space to accommodate both large and intimate guest lists.
For at least 400 years, the point of land known as Old Point Comfort that now includes Fort Monroe has served as the key defensive site at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay
The Fort Monroe Authority collects and cares for objects and archival materials representing the history of the inhabitants of the land currently occupied by the Authority.
