Standing sentry over the Chesapeake Bay since 1792, Old Cape Henry Lighthouse has witnessed and has played a part in 230 year of military history in Virginia.

Join us on May 29th, 2023 in a focused walking tour to learn about the various wars that affected the lighthouse and its operation, as well as the wars that the lighthouse witnessed.
