Reviews of Fort Washington Visitor Center
"The fort is beautifully sited on the Potomac River with distant views of DC on the right and Mount Vernon to the left. Nice visitor center with friendly park service staff, an informative exhibit area and a bookstore. Highly recommended."
"Wonderfully preserved fort full of history. Perfect for a day out in the sunshine for a little adventure. The Park Rangers were very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend checking this installation out if you’re in the area and love history."
"The views are amazing on a clear day. The lighthouse is a pleasant surprise and the fort is outstanding. Well worth the hot sun. It’s awesome."
"More entertaining and interesting than I thought. Check some of the photos I took. Perfect location for picnic too. The children will love it."
"A historical place to go, even on a rainy day! Fort Washington has some really unique landscaping and infrastructure to go and learn a little more about the areas and the country's history. They do have a small information center. The information personal that are there to provide assistance are also very friendly. It will take about 1-2 hours to get through everything and has some great scenic drives!"
