Day 4 - The Casemate Musuem at Fort Monroe

If you don't already know, there is a TON of history around here. This is great, because I never really paid attention in my History class so it's like learning everything for the first time. You know, things like what is the Civil War, etc. (Sorry to disappoint you Larry).

Here is a quick history lesson for you: The Casemate Museum at Fort Monroe is the Largest stone fort ever built in the United States. Fort Monroe is the headquarters for the US army training and doctrine command. During the Civil War Fort Monroe was a union held bastion in the center of a Confederate State and help shelter thousand of slave refugees. The highlight is the cell where confederate prisoner Jefferson Davis was imprisoned. Shown above is a picture of Matt and Nathan in that cell. We also saw the house were General Lee was stationed.
