Fort Bayard was an earthwork fort constructed in 1861 northwest of Tenleytown in the District of Columbia as part of the defenses of Washington, D.C., during the American Civil War. It never faced major opposition during the conflict and was decommissioned following the surrender of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Named after Brigadier General George Dashiell Bayard, who was killed at the Battle of Fredericksburg, the site of the fort is in Boundary Park, located at the intersection of River Road and Western Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., and is maintained by the U.S. National Park Service. No trace of the fort remains, though a marker commemorating its existence has been erected by the Park Service.

  • Fort Bayard était un fort de terre construit en 1861 au nord-ouest de Tenleytown dans le district de Columbia pour renforcer les défenses de la capitale des États-Unis, Washington, durant la guerre de Sécession. Le fort ne fut pas le cadre d'une bataille majeure durant le conflit et fut démantelé après la reddition de l'Armée de Virginie du Nord de Robert Lee. Nommé en hommage au général de brigade (en) qui fut tué lors de la bataille de Fredericksburg, le fort se situe à l'emplacement de l'actuel Boundary Park, à l'intersection de River Road et Western Avenue NW à Washington ; il est maintenu par le National Park Service. Il n'en reste aucune trace, mais un panneau commémorant son existence a été placé sur les lieux par le Park Service. (fr)
