This video is about Fort Monroe in Virginia, also known as Freedom's Fortress. Fort Monroe National Monument is located in Hampton, Virginia, at Old Point Comfort, the southern tip of the Virginia Peninsula. This location has always been of strategic importance. Back in 1862, President Lincoln stayed at Fort Monroe Quarters Number 1. Fort Monroe is the largest stone fort built by the U.S.! Fort Monroe stood watch over the navigation channel between the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads. It remained in operation until the end of World War II. The Chesapeake Bay, Potomac River, and water approaches to D.C. were protected by this amazing fortress. It's the largest Fort ever built by the United States. Connect with A Nose for Life
