programs honoring George Washington’s life and legacy.
Ford Orientation Center
Start your visit at the Ford Orientation Center, where you
can watch the 30 minute action-adventure movie, “We
Fight to Be Free.” (Visit time: 45 Minutes)
The Mansion
After the death of his older half-brother, Lawrence, in
1752, George Washington took up residence at the
house that his father, Augustine Washington, had built in 1735. Over the next five decades,
Washington expanded the house to create an impressive 21-room mansion with vibrant wall
colors, intricate architectural details, and elegant furnishings. The interiors have been
meticulously restored to their appearance in 1799. Walk through the first and second floors,
where history interpreters share more information about the house and its residents. (Visit time: 30 Min.)
Mansion Outbuildings
In Washington's time, many of the Mansion’s essential operations—such as laundry, spinning,
and meat curing—were performed in outbuildings located
near the Mansion. Explore more than a dozen of these
small structures, including a working blacksmith shop with
daily demonstrations. (Visit time: 30 minutes.)
Gardens and Grounds
George Washington's design for his estate included four
separate gardens covering more than six acres. The gardens served many purposes, from
testing new varieties of plants to producing vegetables and fruit to providing floral displays. In
addition to visiting the gardens, explore the wooded landscape on the quarter-mile-long forest
trail. (Visit time: 30 minutes (gardens)
National Museum of the Marine Corps (NMMC)
The President of the United States dedicated the National Museum of the Marine Corps (NMMC)
on 10 November 2006. Located in Quantico, VA and with an average annual visitor attendance
of more than 500,000 during each of its first three years, the NMMC is one of the most popular
cultural attractions in Virginia.
Its exhibitions recreate environments and immerse visitors into Marine Corps action.
The National Museum is being constructed in phases, the first of which includes
approximately 120,000 square feet. It opened with permanent galleries dedicated
to “Making Marines,” World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. In
2010, three additional galleries opened to tell the story of the Marine Corps from
1775 through World War I. In immersive exhibits, visitors take their places alongside Marines in
battle. Aircraft, tanks, and other vehicles are prominently displayed, and period uniforms,
weapons, medals, flags, and other artifacts help visitors trace the history of the Corps. Future
phases will add a giant-screen theater, classrooms, an art gallery, visible storage, and more
exhibition space to the flagship building. A chapel that overlooks the Museum and Semper
Fidelis Memorial Park opened in October 2009
Yorktown Room in the Fort Belvoir Officers Club
Built in 1935 on a majestic cliff over the Potomac River, the Officers' Club represents a proud
military heritage at Fort Belvoir. Designed in the first true American architectural style, the
Georgian Colonial Revival Style, the Officers' Club
elegantly showcases brick facades, strict symmetry, and
pedimented central pavilions. As a popular wedding
venue, the Fort Belvoir Officers' Club is nestled in a quiet
neighborhood and picturesque park-like setting.
Over the past 80 years, the Fort Belvoir Officers' Club has been visited by many Presidents,
Cabinet Officers, Senators, Congressmen, and Foreign Diplomats. Consider joining the ranks of
this proud tradition.
