Commemorate Black History Month with a special National Park Service Ranger-guided tour of Fort Washington that focuses on the role of African Americans in the fort’s history. Examine the enslavement of people on the Digges’ plantation and the use of their labor in the construction of the fort, consider the importance of freedom seekers during the War of 1812 and the American Civil War, and appreciate the rise of African Americans in the US Army during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Every February during Black History Month and throughout the year, the National Park Service and our partners share stories, rich culture, and an invitation for all Americans to reflect on Black history in parks and communities across the country. Learn more here.
