Description
Join the National Park Service (NPS) to explore the remnants of Fort Marcy. Fort Marcy and its counterpart, Fort Ethan Allen, were hastily planned and built to protect the Chain Bridge approach to Washington, DC during the Civil War. Its earthwork walls, trenches, rifle pits, and parade ground are among the best preserved defenses from that era.
Meet NPS staff at the parking lot.
Address: Fort Marcy Park is in Virginia on the George Washington Memorial Parkway between the Spout Run Parkway and VA-123 exits.
Fort Marcy Park can only be reached from the northbound lanes of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. From the parkway, follow the sign to turn right to enter the parking lot.
