Fort Ward by Paper Trail

Alexandria, Virginia

Finds: 107
Plants: 4
Attempts: 11

Again, a beautifully carved stamp by Paper Trail.

Fort Ward can be found in Alexandria, Virginia. Apparently it is the best preserved of the system of Union forts and batteries built to protect Washington DC during the American Civil war. Dating from 1861, only the Northwest Bastion remains today.

The bonus part was there is an awesome playground that is now on the park lands.
