Built in 1861 on what was known as the Arlington Line, the complex was designed with a perimeter of 540 yards and platforms for 24 guns. Later in 1863, the perimeter was expanded to 818 yards with room for 36 guns. The fort never saw any attacks and was dismantled in November 1865. Today, the fort is well preserved with about 90 percent of its earthen walls still intact.
Fort Ward, located at 4301 West Braddock Road inside a 45-acre park, offers self-guided tours of the preserved earthwork and reconstructed military structures. There's also a museum with exhibits and artifacts, an Officer's Hut, Ceremonial Gate, and a reconstructed northwest bastion. The museum is open on Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and on Sunday noon to 5 pm.
