Fort Monroe
Fort
Monroe has an incredibly rich history. During the Civil War, Jefferson
Davis was imprisoned there. It was built in 1819 and was on the 2005
base closure list. Plans are to convert it to a national park. It has
the potential to become "The Presidio" (of San Francisco) of the East
Coast. Many former bases have few traces of any history left. However,
Fort Monroe would warrant a visit by history buffs.
