Together for Tomorrow: Community Conversations

Fort Monroe in Hampton Virginia became a national monument in 2011 when it was added to the National Park System by President Obama. Fort Monroe was the first place Africans were brought into slavery on this continent in 1619. In 1861, it became Freedom’s Fortress when it offered asylum to thousands seeking refuge during the Civil War. Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis were all part of the peninsula’s past.

Fort Monroe is located adjacent to Phoebus, Virginia and together they host rich history, unmatched access to the Chesapeake Bay, and a vibrant business community. Local partners that include the National Park Service, the city of Hampton, the Fort Monroe Authority and the Phoebus Partnership are working together to explore ways to develop shared goals for the region’s future.

Learn more about local initiatives underway and bring your ideas and priorities for the region into the conversation.
