Fort Washington, located near the community of Fort Washington, Maryland, was for many decades the only defensive fort protecting Washington D.C. The original fort, overlooking the Potomac River, was completed in 1809, and was begun as Fort Warburton, but renamed in 1808. During the War of 1812, the fort was destroyed by its own garrison during a British advance. The Fort Washington Light, located below the fort, was established in 1857. The current tower, standing 28 feet tall, was constructed in 1882.

  • 华盛顿堡(英語:Fort Washington),或翻譯成華盛頓要塞,位於馬里蘭州非建制社區附近,俯瞰波托馬克河。曾經長達几十年的時間,華盛頓堡爲保护美國首都华盛顿特區的唯一的軍事堡壘。最原始的堡壘建於1809年,並且原本官方名稱爲沃伯頓堡(英語:Fort Warburton)。隨着越來越多人直接稱其爲華盛頓堡,1814年華盛頓堡已成爲其正式官方名稱。 目前華盛頓堡公園除了華盛頓堡本身外,公園範圍內還有其他一些分佈四周的炮臺建築,譬如梅格斯炮臺、懷特炮臺等等,以及一個遊客中心和華盛頓堡燈塔。 在1812年战争期間,因英軍推進,堡壘駐軍撤退並自毀堡壘。現所見的堡壘爲1814年重建,並於1824年正式宣告完工於。當前由美國国家公园管理局维护。它是石造结构,且能夠良好地使用加農炮射擊波托馬克河上的目標。这座堡垒在1840年代和1890年代进行了大規模的改建。堡垒最后一批军事人员於1946年撤離,並被移交给美国内政部。 如今的华盛顿堡公园拥有广泛的健行步道/自行车道和河景,是野餐、钓鱼、和户外休闲的理想之地。堡垒定期举行歷史重演活動,并设有一个小博物馆。在2006年,为迎接200周年纪念而對坍塌的外牆进行修復。 位于堡壘下方的于1857年初次建立。目前的塔建于1882年,高28英尺(約8.53公尺)。 (zh)
