This is the site of Fort Tar, built to guard the approach to the city from the west. Situated on the outskirts of Norfolk, near Armistead’s Bridge, which spanned Glebe Creek near by, it served with Forts Barbour, Norfolk, and Nelson to protect Norfolk and Portsmouth from invasion by the British in the War of 1812.
