Fort Monroe today includes not only the historic stone fort surrounded by a moat, but also over 300 acres outside its walls. Would this area outside of the walls be part of the park?
A. Our vision is for all of the Fort Monroe property to be under the control of a trust charged with operating the entire Fort Monroe property for the benefit of the American people. The portion of the property to be operated by the National Park Service (NPS) would be determined in the future, but it would be expected that at least the moated fort, portions of the waterfront and other key historical, natural and recreational assets outside the walls would be operated by the NPS.
