Army fort built in 1806, decommissioned in 1946. Picturesque Fort Washington sits on high ground overlooking the Potomac River and offers a grand view of Washington and the Virginia shoreline. Today, only one silent gun stands behind the masonry wall-the last armament of the powerful fort that once guarded the water approach to our Nation's Capital. The old fort is one of the few U.S. seacoast fortifications still in its original form.[ Last Updated: 08-Jun-2011 | Hits: 419 | Reader Comments Report Problem
