I was stationed at Fort Monroe in 1967 (Women's Army Corps) and I must say that my experience there was awesome. Anyone who was there during that time knows the fun we had as young soldiers. (Mary Frank)

The museum is IN the wall of the Fortress. You have to drive across a dinky bridge to cross the moat. Once there, it's a great afternoon at the museum. It closes at 4:30pm

Was stationed at Fort Monroe before it closed. It is a beautiful, hidden gem. Take the time to get off the interstate (after you transit the HRBT) and spend a few hours both "inside the moat" and outside. Visit the museum and drive around the Old Post.

If you are in the area it is worth visiting. The fort is very interesting, and the Casemate museum makes the trip. Visit the flag staff. If facing the interior of the fort, walk the wall to the right and visit the pretty cemetery along the wall.
Great place to walk the Hampton waterfront.

Gorgeous National Park! Park inside the fort at The Casemate Museum. Take a walk up the Flag Bastion for a wonderful view of the bay and walk around the entire fort walls. Have dinner at The Deadrise, also on Fort Monroe, and catch a great sunset over the Marina.
