Fort C. F. Smith, Civil War fortress in Arlington County, United States
The fort extends across 19 acres of land, featuring preserved earthwork structures, two ammunition magazines, and a bombproof shelter for soldiers.
Union Army engineers constructed Fort C. F. Smith in 1863 as part of the defensive network protecting Washington D.C. during the American Civil War.
The Hendry House within the park grounds functions as a gathering space for community events and educational programs about Civil War history.
The Civil War Visitor Center welcomes guests on weekends, with Saturday hours from 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday hours from 1 PM to 5 PM.
Archaeological investigations at the site revealed artifacts indicating human presence during the Woodland period, long before the fort's construction.
