Join us Thursday, March 24 for a discussion with author John Michael Kupik, author of Images of America - Fort Myer, from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. in Central Auditorium.
During the Civil War, Washington DC was the most fortified city in the world with 70 fortifications and 90 batteries surrounding the perimeter of the Capital. Land was clear-cut two miles in all directions to permit open line of sight for the artillery to fire. After the War, all of these were abandoned, most covered over, the land developed or just plain forgotten except one?
This ground-breaking book - the first ever about the Arlington military facility - explores the first 100 years of Fort Myer?s history through photographic images. The book will be available late this year.
