At Gloucester Point, the protected remains of a Civil War fort stand at the entrance to Tyndall’s Point Park and connect this place to a long history of conflict and defense. Over four hundred years, English settlers, redcoat and patriot armies, and blue and gray citizen soldiers defended and attacked this point during rebellions, revolutions, and civil war. Today, Gloucester County and the National Park Service work together to protect the grounds, while the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, across Route 17, guards against environmental threats to the Chesapeake Bay.
