Reviews of Fort Monroe National Monument
"The Fort and surrounding areas are beautiful. The museum staff is highly knowledgeable and passionate about history. I highly recommend visiting when you're in the area. It is quiet, serene, and is a marvel."
"Interesting site. We check it out thinking it will have an awesome view and it will be still on the reminesence of what it used to be. But there's private residences and traffic lights inside!. We couldn't access to the museum as it was closed. But I understand the tickets are free."
"Very impressive fort with a good visitor center and walking tour. It was interesting to learn the history of the fort and area. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend a visit. We were there over an hour and did not hit the extra museum."
"Absolutely gorgeous place, and saturated in history. There is so much to explore and learn just by walking around Fort Monroe. This sort of thing is what America is all about. Come enjoy the beauteous monument and learn about the history of strife that has become a monument to American unity. May Freedom's Fortress stand for all time, and may the people learn to live in harmony, in accordance with the founding principles of this country."
"Wonderful park to visit as a family! Make sure to get tickets to the casemate museum ahead of time from the visitor center. You need a timed entry ticket for the museum. It is definitely worth the time to see it and the walking tour is great! We were also able to do the tour while driving because there were enough areas where you could pull off. The pet I cemetery was one of the favorites of our children."
