Fort Story is a United States Army installation used as a training facility and much of the fort is off-limits to the public. However there are three notable sites on the property where visitors are more than welcome to enter the complex to see these historic spots. They include the First Landing Cross, which marks the landfall site of the English colonists that first settled Jamestown in 1607; Admiral de Grasse statue honoring the French Fleets efforts in aiding in the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown and the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse. |
