Things To Do
Fort Monroe, Virginia
Rich in history, Fort Monroe is known as the largest moated fort in the United States and played an important role in American history, offering beautiful waterfront views, historic buildings, and scenic walking paths. While you're exploring the area, we also encourage you to visit St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, the church where we got engaged. Both places hold a special place in our hearts, and we hope you'll enjoy experiencing the history, beauty, and memories that make them so meaningful to us.
Virginia Air & Space Science Center
Be sure to visit the Virginia Air & Space Science Center, a fascinating museum and visitor center for NASA's Langley Research Center. Home to historic aircraft, hands-on exhibits, and space exploration artifacts, it's a fun and inspiring look at Virginia's important role in aviation and space history!
Jamestown
If you have time to explore beyond Hampton, we highly recommend visiting Jamestown Settlement and the nearby Historic Jamestowne. As the site of America's first permanent English settlement, Jamestown offers a unique glimpse into the beginnings of our nation's history. Visitors can explore reconstructed ships, a colonial fort, and interactive exhibits that bring the 17th century to life, while Historic Jamestowne features active archaeological digs where new discoveries are still being made today.
