Naval Weapons Station

The piers extending into the York River, just to the right, serve a major Navy installation. Since its establishment in 1918, then as a Mine Depot, it has served our country in two World Wars and the Korean conflict as well as in peace time.

Marker can be reached from Colonial National Historic Parkway 0.6 miles east of Mason Row, on the left when traveling east.
