Geocache Description:

Park in the Mt. Eagle Park parking lot (see waypoint) and walk from there. No need to park illegally or in a space used by the condos and townhouses close by. Not recommended at night.

Mount Eagle was the home of Bryan Fairfax.  He bought the property and built Mount Eagle (south of Hunting Creek), where he lived from 1790 until his death, in 1802.
George Washington’s last meal away from Mount Vernon, on December 7, 1799, was there.
Court Johnson owned the property during the Civil War.  Fort Lyon was constructed on the property during the American Civil War.
Mount Eagle was demolished in 1968, and the land is now used for a park, where this cache is hidden, as well as the Montebello Condominium and the Huntington Metro Station.
