Fort Washington Park in Fort Washington, MD, is home to the historic Fort Foote, a powerful enclosed work constructed in 1863 to strengthen the fortifications around Washington, D.C. Visitors can explore the remains of the fort's earthworks and view two 15-inch Rodman Cannons that once protected the city.
With a rich history dating back to the Civil War era, Fort Foote offers a glimpse into the past with its well-preserved cannons and strategic location atop Rozier's Bluff. The park provides a unique opportunity to learn about the protection detail for Washington, D.C., during a pivotal period in American history.
