Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site

Nice little Fort, one of the many built around the Capital to protect it during the American Civil War, and great place to visit in good weather. Visited it with my Mom and the staff was friendly and the museum, while small, had a lot of artifacts. The park is open to the public. I had a friend who liked to walk it during the weekends because he lived so close to it.

Nice little place full of historical artifacts. It’s free and there were only few people inside. You are allowed to take pictures. The staff is friendly. There is a lot to learn if you are interested in history! Remember to also visit the historic site, if the weather is nice you can have a picnic in there, there are lots of tables and benches. Pets friendly.

Nice little historic stop in the Alexandria area. Museum historian was very informative. Museum is well laid out. Nice quiet place to step back into history.
