You’ve probably heard of the Monitor and the Merrimack (aka the CSS Virginia). Now you will have a guide to visit the very fort that one of them resupplied at just before their infamous battle!
For Norfolk is right next to downtown Norfolk, is free, and has a ton of history. You can’t lose with a visit here!

Tips
Downtown Norfolk is a VERY short drive from the Fort. We highly recommend heading down to the Waterside District if you want to grab a bite to eat…or head over to the MacAurthur Center if you want to walk around the mall, see a movie, and grab a quick bite at the food court. (the parking garage there is relatively inexpensive too)
