The commemoration will feature a variety of activities and history-focused programs that aim to bring the past to life. Visitors can expect to see historical music performances, interact with reenactors, and witness cannon demonstrations. Each of these elements is intended to provide a vivid depiction of the fort’s past and the soldiers who inhabited it.
This event is not only a celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250-year history, but also an opportunity for visitors to engage with history in a hands-on and immersive way. The National Park Service encourages all those interested in military history or the history of Fort Washington to attend this unique commemoration.
