Carpenter's Shop & Storeroom
Click on link to visit that area of the fort.
This two-story 1810 builidng was described in 1824 as "containing two ground rooms for [a] carpenter's shop, and one upper room for a store room," and in 1860 as an "old store house in ruins." The Norfolk Historical Society restored the building in 1992 with a grant from the late Fairfax Mackie Berkley and now uses it as headquarters. The lower level houses historical artifacts, exhibits, and numerous books, and serves as a welcome center for visitors to Fort Norfolk. It is also home to a dollmaker's replica of Lemuel Fentress, a squatter discovered in the fort in the 1840s.
