Its an important historic fort but little to see inside the buildings. Most only able to see the setting and outside of the buildings. Very historic.

The tour begins with informational session and a viewing of a video about Norfolk s early days. Did you know that the city limits ended at the Hague? Neither did I! Touring the buildings allows you to see actual dwellings and workmanship that were used as early as 1812. Imagine walking the same steps as Norfolk soldiers did during the War of 1812! Even the forts doors have a unique history. This your is well worth the time. Ill go again just for a trip back in time. I loved it!

It was just a few buildings that are in disrepair. I dont mind historical disrepair but these were things that were recently added that were falling apart. Doors of sheds revealing modern storage poorly piled inside.There were not very many informational signs. I knew the buildings were not going to be open yet but something would have been helpful. We followed a path way by the water and were told by a security officer we werent allowed down there. I believe the fort should be sectioned off from the restricted area if you are going to allow visitors.I have been to many historical forts and this one was a waste of time.

Took my daughters here today. Was given an impromptu tour by a member of the historical society. My daughters really enjoyed the writing on the wall from the prisoners.
