I nice park. The museum was closed today. Many people use yhe park for walking excercise.
Lovely park for walking, playing, and learning! Plenty of parking along the paved walking trails, picnic areas, and historic sites. One of my favorite escapes from the city!
Quaint little park with small but impressive array of Civil War memorabilia. Fort Ward was one of a series of installations that protected the Nation’s Capital and the Alexandria waterways. The walls of the fort are now low because of erosion but it’s still worth a visit to the on-site museum that features firearms, cannons, uniforms and other historic items. A must for Civil War buffs. Don’t be disappointed that it’s not sized like a Smithsonian joint; enjoy the intimacy of the facility and a pleasant walk afterward.
Management clearly hates that this place exists. They’re far more concerned about avoiding lawsuits and yelling at little kids than they are about preserving the fort itself by keeping jerks and their dogs off the earth works. City of Alexandria should be ashamed of themselves.
Good nature walk . Dogs are welcome.
