Cape Henry Day of Play

Play is a fundamental right; it builds resilience, instils confidence and helps children develop. At Cape Henry we love to play! Join us to learn and play the same games the families of lighthouse keepers would have played in the early 1800’s and visit the lighthouse during your visit!
This event is free and open to active/retired military/ DoD. CLOSURE NOTICE: Due to current base security restrictions at Fort Story, Cape Henry Lighthouse is closed to civilians. It is only open to active/retired military and DoD card holders. Visitors over the age of 16 must have a REAL ID when accompanying someone with an active/retired military and DoD card. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will visit us soon. Questions? Email us at capehenry@preservationvirginia.org or call 757-422-9421.
