Your contribution, no matter the amount, is crucial in helping us fund this event and others in 2024. As a small 501(c)(3) non-profit, we rely on donations from history lovers like you to fulfill our mission to preserve and educate year-round about the Civil War Defenses of Washington. This year for the Fort Stevens commemoration, we received a grant from Humanities DC for which we need to provide a match. And in addition to financial donations, we seek volunteers to help us. Hope you will join us!
