Fort Haggerty
Here beside the Georgetown-Alexandria road stood Fort Haggerty, a small outwork of Fort Corcoran, constructed in May 1861. With a perimeter of 128 yards and emplacements for 4 guns, it was designed to bring under fire the slope south of Fort Corcoran, which could not be seen from there.
Marker is at the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and North Arlington Ridge Road, on the right when traveling west on Wilson Boulevard.
