Fort Scott Memorial Plaque

named for General Winfield Scott, who was then General-in-Chief of the Union Army, it was a detached lunette constructed in May 1861 to guard the south flank of the defenses of Washington during the American Civil War. An historic marker and a small remnant of the fort are the only evidence of the site of the fort on the grounds of what is now Fort Scott Park in Arlington County, Virginia.

It’s hard to imagine that they built airplanes near the Riverdale Park Plaza. I forgot to post this here when I took the pix. I used the #monuments in Strava, so I hope it counts.
