Fort Belvoir

Built around Camp A. A. Humphreys, established in 1917, Fort Belvoir grew into one of the U.S. Army’s principal installations. It occupies a broad stretch of northern Virginia beside the Potomac River, south of Washington, D.C., where military facilities and residential areas share a wooded river setting. The post received its present name in 1935, recalling the Belvoir estate associated with the Fairfax family. The National Museum of the United States Army, opened here in 2020, traces Army history through artifacts and exhibitions.
