Geocache Description:

If you joined the war effort, this was the place to be.  No fighting ever took place here.


The location is named for the man who was then General-in-Chief of the Union Army.  A detached lunette was constructed here in May 1861 to guard the south flank of the defenses of Washington.  A historic marker and a small remnant are the only remaining evidence.  When originally built, it had a perimeter of 313 yards and emplacements for 8 guns.  Construction of the defense of Alexandria to the west subsequently reduced the importance of this place.  It is designated as a Historic District.
