CSS Layout completely messed up in IE 11

I've been working on a midterm site for my current Web Development class and have encountered a problem I haven't been able to find a solution to. IE11 (and possibly earlier versions) don't seem to like my layout and I'm not sure why. Everything displays fine in Firefox and Chrome. This is the link: http://auharvey.com/1510/midterm/index.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#wrapper {
	width: 800px;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
	background-color: #855321;

	}

Well, i can't comment because i don't have my 50 Reputations, but here's an additional tip:

Don't user Pixel (px) so your website is mor flexible for Displays with much smaller Width/height.

define in your body{} in the css: 

    body{
    width: 100%;
    font-size: 100%;
    }

and use for font size in other classes/ids this:

    #example{
    font-size: 1em;
    }

Here is em equal to the normal font-size defined in the body{}.

1 em = normal font size.

2 em = font-size * 2...

Replace main with the following code. Seems you are missing an ending p tag

<main role="main" class="float-left">
            <h3>Who We Are</h3>
