During the past several years the City of Alexandria, through its Office of Historic Alexandria (OHA), has embarked on a major research project at Fort Ward Park, one of the City’s largest remaining open spaces and historic sites. Partnering with community residents, local colleges and universities, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, OHA is in the process of researching and documenting the many cultural and historic resources of the park, covering centuries of human use and habitation. The location probably was used for centuries by Native Americans, and by 1755, only six years after Alexandria was established, was located along a trail used by General Edward Braddock as he marched from Alexandria to the Monongahela River during the French and Indian War. Later the site was surrounded by farms and plantations owned by noted Virginia families, and during the Civil War was developed into a military fortification of the Union Army. After the Civil War the abandoned fort site was occupied by families of African American descent who ultimately created a small community on the former fort site that remained until the land was acquired for public park purposes in the early 1960’s.
The current project for federal funding at Fort Ward seeks to enhance preservation, understanding and accessibility for the historic site for all audiences to the Fort Ward site. Of particular significance is an effort to better understand and connect the restored military fortification and Civil War heritage of the site, to the unique social history and evolution of the African American settlement that developed at the site in the post-Civil War period and lasted to the era of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960’s. Specifically funds will be utilized to:
· Construct an ADA compliant 6’ wide natural resin walkway 1054’ through the historic fort area, with interpretive signage that will assist in improving public accessibility and preserve the fragile earthwork walls of the Civil War fort. The walkway would lead visitors from the fort’s reconstructed entrance gate where they begin a self-guided tour of the interior of the historic fort that culminates at the restored Northwest Bastion. The fort’s gate was renovated in 2009, and is a focal point for visitors touring the fort, but there is no even surface or designated path to guide visitors through the historic site. The walkway will also enhance the public's understanding and appreciation of Fort Ward by providing a clear tour route that would be interpreted with informational signage. (Diagram attached.)
· Research, enhance, protect and interpret features associated with Native and African American settlements at the site, including recently discovered graves and burial areas. Funding will be utilized to expand archaeological and historical research within the park beyond areas studied in Stage I of REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) #00000104, DOCUMENTARY STUDY AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVALUATION FOR FORT WARD HISTORICAL PARK dated October 5, 2010 (copy attached); to fence burial areas and mark currently known (22) or additional unidentified graves within the park confirmed through the implementation of this project; to development a cultural resource protection and interpretive plan for the Fort Ward site; to develop website and printed materials associated with Fort Ward Park’s heritage that will enhance visitor experiences and educational programs within the park.
As Virginia begins to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War in 2011, the Commonwealth's localities and historic properties are preparing to participate in this commemoration with a focus on the key goals of diversity, inclusiveness, accessibility and education. Fort Ward Park, a public park, museum complex and historic site is owned by the City of Alexandria, Virginia and contains the best preserved example of an extensive system of Union forts known as the “Civil War Defenses of Washington”. The Defenses of Washington was an immense network of 164 Union forts and batteries that protected the Federal capital of Washington, D.C., during the Civil War. This historic defense system made Washington the most heavily defended city in the Western hemisphere at the time. Today, few of the forts remain, most having been destroyed through urban development or deterioration. In 2007, the Civil War Preservation Trust collectively designated the Defenses of Washington as one of the ten most endangered Civil War sites in the country, emphasizing how the forts that remain are challenged by erosion, neglect, vandalism and lack of interpretation.
The national significance of Fort Ward is confirmed by the recognition it received from the Civil War Centennial Commission and its placement on the National Register of Historic Places. Fort Ward stands out as the most extensively preserved and interpreted of the remaining forts, allowing visitors to more fully understand and appreciate the fort’s significance within the broader context of the Defenses of Washington through historic site signage, a reconstructed Officers’ Hut, Museum exhibits and programs, an orientation display and video on the defense system, and a research library. The parkland also includes preserved features such as an outlying gun battery, portions of a rifle trench, and burial areas, subterranean remains and landscape features associated with a post war African American settlement known as “The Fort” , that developed around the former military fortification after the war ended. Unfortunately, most physical features associated with “The Fort” were removed when the park was first developed to emphasize only the military and strategic importance of the site. Current interpretive strategy seeks to expand and connect understanding of all of the park’s cultural/historical resources and surroundings, from the Native American period through the development of the contemporary suburb, but emphasizing the unusual Civil War/post-Civil War military and social history of the site in the context of larger national events occurring during that time.
Although in 1861 Alexandria was within direct view of the nation’s capital across the Potomac River in Washington, DC, it was also a major slave trading center in Northern Virginia, part of a Southern slave state that seceded from the Union in May of that year. Invaded the day after the vote for Secession, Alexandria remained in Union control throughout the war and became a major command and control center for Union troops and supplies, and later as a destination for escaped slaves seeking protection as Contrabands behind Union lines. The social and demographic changes that occurred in Alexandria during this period were enormous, and the once prosperous city emerged from the war with its building and infrastructure in tatters and economy destroyed.
Yet, the post-Civil War period was also a period of newly found freedom and opportunity for African Americans who could now assemble, vote, own property and participate in reviving or building new
communities. During the ensuing century, the City of Alexandria and its citizens played an important role in the Civil Rights history of America. In 1939 its segregated public library was the scene of the nation’s first “sit-in” demonstration, confirming that non-violent behavior, combined with proper media coverage, could affect significant change in a community. Later in the 1960’s and 70’s the heightened tensions associated with the desegregation of the City’s schools was highlighted in the feature film, Remember the Titans. It was during the early years of this period that residents of “The Fort” were moved from the land that became Fort Ward Park, and their community razed into oblivion. The upcoming Civil War Sesquicentennial Commemoration, and current SAT project at Fort Ward, offer an opportunity to develop a shared heritage of the site that encompasses many perspectives.
Fort Ward is currently a major Civil War museum and historic site in the Washington area, with a visitation of nearly 35,000 people in 2010. However, it is anticipated that with the increased visitation to Fort Ward during the Civil War Sesquicentennial commemoration (2011-2015), and as a result of accessibility and inclusive interpretive improvements focusing on social history and African American heritage, the site will become an even larger magnet for heritage tourism. This will greatly enhance the understanding of our nation’s history, particularly for attracting diverse public audiences and those with special needs, and support the sustainable economy of Northern Virginia.

During the past several years the City of Alexandria, through its Office of Historic Alexandria (OHA), has embarked on a major research project at Fort Ward Park, one of the City’s largest remaining open spaces and historic sites. Partnering with community residents, local colleges and universities, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, OHA is in the process of researching and documenting the many cultural and historic resources of the park, covering centuries of human use and habitation. The location probably was used for centuries by Native Americans, and by 1755, only six years after Alexandria was established, was located along a trail used by General Edward Braddock as he marched from Alexandria to the Monongahela River during the French and Indian War. Later the site was surrounded by farms and plantations owned by noted Virginia families, and during the Civil War was developed into a military fortification of the Union Army. After the Civil War the abandoned fort site was occupied by families of African American descent who ultimately created a small community on the former fort site that remained until the land was acquired for public park purposes in the early 1960’s.
The current project for federal funding at Fort Ward seeks to enhance preservation, understanding and accessibility for the historic site for all audiences to the Fort Ward site. Of particular significance is an effort to better understand and connect the restored military fortification and Civil War heritage of the site, to the unique social history and evolution of the African American settlement that developed at the site in the post-Civil War period and lasted to the era of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960’s. Specifically funds will be utilized to:

The walkway would lead visitors from the fort’s reconstructed entrance gate where they begin a self-guided tour of the interior of the historic fort that culminates at the restored Northwest Bastion.

· Research, enhance, protect and interpret features associated with Native and African American settlements at the site, including recently discovered graves and burial areas. Funding will be utilized to expand archaeological and historical research within the park beyond areas studied in Stage I of REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) #00000104, DOCUMENTARY STUDY AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVALUATION FOR FORT WARD HISTORICAL PARK dated October 5, 2010 (copy attached); to fence burial areas and mark currently known (22) or additional unidentified graves within the park confirmed through the implementation of this project; to development a cultural resource protection and interpretive plan for the Fort Ward site; to develop website and printed materials associated with Fort Ward Park’s heritage that will enhance visitor experiences and educational programs within the park.
As Virginia begins to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War in 2011, the Commonwealth's localities and historic properties are preparing to participate in this commemoration with a focus on the key goals of diversity, inclusiveness, accessibility and education. Fort Ward Park, a public park, museum complex and historic site is owned by the City of Alexandria, Virginia and contains the best preserved example of an extensive system of Union forts known as the “Civil War Defenses of Washington”. The Defenses of Washington was an immense network of 164 Union forts and batteries that protected the Federal capital of Washington, D.C., during the Civil War. This historic defense system made Washington the most heavily defended city in the Western hemisphere at the time. Today, few of the forts remain, most having been destroyed through urban development or deterioration. In 2007, the Civil War Preservation Trust collectively designated the Defenses of Washington as one of the ten most endangered Civil War sites in the country, emphasizing how the forts that remain are challenged by erosion, neglect, vandalism and lack of interpretation.
The national significance of Fort Ward is confirmed by the recognition it received from the Civil War Centennial Commission and its placement on the National Register of Historic Places. Fort Ward stands out as the most extensively preserved and interpreted of the remaining forts, allowing visitors to more fully understand and appreciate the fort’s significance within the broader context of the Defenses of Washington through historic site signage, a reconstructed Officers’ Hut, Museum exhibits and programs, an orientation display and video on the defense system, and a research library. The parkland also includes preserved features such as an outlying gun battery, portions of a rifle trench, and burial areas, subterranean remains and landscape features associated with a post war African American settlement known as “The Fort” , that developed around the former military fortification after the war ended. Unfortunately, most physical features associated with “The Fort” were removed when the park was first developed to emphasize only the military and strategic importance of the site. Current interpretive strategy seeks to expand and connect understanding of all of the park’s cultural/historical resources and surroundings, from the Native American period through the development of the contemporary suburb, but emphasizing the unusual Civil War/post-Civil War military and social history of the site in the context of larger national events occurring during that time.
Although in 1861 Alexandria was within direct view of the nation’s capital across the Potomac River in Washington, DC, it was also a major slave trading center in Northern Virginia, part of a Southern slave state that seceded from the Union in May of that year. Invaded the day after the vote for Secession, Alexandria remained in Union control throughout the war and became a major command and control center for Union troops and supplies, and later as a destination for escaped slaves seeking protection as Contrabands behind Union lines. The social and demographic changes that occurred in Alexandria during this period were enormous, and the once prosperous city emerged from the war with its building and infrastructure in tatters and economy destroyed.
Yet, the post-Civil War period was also a period of newly found freedom and opportunity for African Americans who could now assemble, vote, own property and participate in reviving or building new
communities. During the ensuing century, the City of Alexandria and its citizens played an important role in the Civil Rights history of America. In 1939 its segregated public library was the scene of the nation’s first “sit-in” demonstration, confirming that non-violent behavior, combined with proper media coverage, could affect significant change in a community.

The upcoming Civil War Sesquicentennial Commemoration, and current SAT project at Fort Ward, offer an opportunity to develop a shared heritage of the site that encompasses many perspectives.
Fort Ward is currently a major Civil War museum and historic site in the Washington area, with a visitation of nearly 35,000 people in 2010. However, it is anticipated that with the increased visitation to Fort Ward during the Civil War Sesquicentennial commemoration (2011-2015), and as a result of accessibility and inclusive interpretive improvements focusing on social history and African American heritage, the site will become an even larger magnet for heritage tourism. This will greatly enhance the understanding of our nation’s history, particularly for attracting diverse public audiences and those with special needs, and support the sustainable economy of Northern Virginia.
