Fort Monroe is a wonderful place to visit. If you are a history buff, nature lover or simply looking for a good meal, a day at Fort Monroe is unlike any other.
Fort Monroe has received several national designations to celebrate and protect this area’s important heritage. 
We’ve got researchers diving into the National Archives right now, uncovering new stories and hidden truths about the lives, struggles, heartaches — and most importantly, the successes — of the Contrabands.
And how do we know they succeeded?
Because we are here. Still standing. Still thriving.
Join the Contraband Historical Society, the Fort Monroe Authority and the Fort Monroe National Monument as we continue to honor their legacy and bring their stories to light. May 17, 2025 | 7 PM | Chapel of the Centurion, Fort Monroe, VA
