Fort Monroe, Old Point Comfort, Hampton, Virginia

Fort Monroe, Old Point Comfort, Virginia
National Historic Landmark District

Old Point Comfort is a 565 acre barrier split of land surrounded by eight miles of panoramic waterfront views of the harbor of Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay. It is home to the largest stone fort ever built in America and one of Virginia's most popular tourism destinations.

Imagine stunning historic neighborhoods, three miles of pristine beaches, and nearly 200 acres of natural resources where you can jog, bike, and stroll along the breezy boardwalk.

Now, you can make your way home to Fort Monroe and live in this one of a kind place. On September 15, 2011 the U.S. Army departs Fort Monroe and it will immediately transition to a state enclave, open to all.

5 minutes from my home in Hampton... beautiful place.

This was my home before the Fort Monroe Authority evicted me and other soldiers from Wherry Housing. Fort Monroe was a special place for many people and the FMA has already shown that they do not respect the community by giving many solders and sailors a matter of days to get out of their homes. Shame on you, Fort Monroe Authority. You do not deserve this land.

This brought back such wonderful memories..my late husband served here in the 60's and we made many good friends....
