Freedom's Fortress: American Indian presence, Captain John Smith's journeys, a safe haven for freedom seekers during the Civil War, and a bastion of defense for the Chesapeake Bay.
Historic. Plenty of things to see for the history buff. Great place to stroll and enjoy views and historic markers. Check out the top of the moat for the pet cemetery/markers.
Established in 1609, this location is approximately 3 miles from the Beach House. If you love history, this is a site to see on your trip to the area.
