The Scene This is the last of 19 harbor-front forts built to protect the Norfolk harbor in the War of 1812. During the Civil War, the fort changed hands twice: Confederate forces seized the fort from the Union in order to help the CSS Virginia during its battle with the USS Monitor. Later, the Union army recaptured the fort, using it as a prison.The Best For a true time-travel experience,...

Business description (2)

Fort Norfolk is the last of the George Washington authorized harbor-front ports. Set on four acres next to the Elizabeth River, the fort had a significant role in the War of 1812. Sites to be seen include the dungeon, ramparts and barracks, most of which date back to 1810. Located in the historic Ghent area, Fort Norfolk is an interesting and educational outing.

Fort Norfolk played important roles in both the War of 1812 and Civil War. This historic Norfolk attraction is the last of 19 harbor-front forts commissioned by President Washington in 1794, and many of her original buildings remain standing. When visiting Fort Norfolk, be sure to note the role it played during the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimac in 1862.
