	Talk:Cape Henry Memorial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Perhaps the answer is to merge the Cape Henry Memorial content to Colonial National Historical Park, rename this article, and maybe (or maybe not) put the lighthouse text here.
		I think that separate article on Fort Story, Cape Henry Memorial, Cape Henry Lighthouse, and even First Landing State Park are not inappropriate, so long as they are not too duplicative, and contain internal links to each other.
		Since I created these articles (except the one not yet written about First Landing State Park, which was formerly Seashore Sate Park, which is not totally at Cape Henry anyway), I will set about repairing them unless there is a consensus otherwise.
