Fort Huger is a strategic Civil War fort located on a bluff overlooking the James River. This fort, along with Fort Boykin, was established to block the approach by land and river to the Confederate capital in Richmond. Self-guided tours of the fort provide a view of the James River's ghost fleet.

Isle of Wight County restored and interpreted this fort and opened it to the public in 2007.

Fort Huger is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Virginia Landmarks Register, Virginia Civil Wars Trail, Captain John Smith's Trail, Lower Oyster Loop and Cornell eBird System.
