Guns of Fort Brady

Union photographers Andrew J. Russell and T.C. Roche arrived south of Richmond in 1865 and recorded some of the most important images of Fort Brady. This view was taken from the parapet behind you and depicts the fort's fighting battery. In the six months of Fort Brady's wartime existence, these guns fired 1,356 rounds.

Marker can be reached from Hoke Brady Road 0.9 miles south of Kingsland Road.
