This was accomplished by the the Mount Vernon Ladies\u2019 Association, the Piscataway Natives, and residents of the areas. &nbsp;It has, in addition to a public fishing pier and two boardwalks over fresh water tidal wetlands, a variety of nature trails, meadows, and woodland areas and is home to <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\">National Colonial Farm<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>National Capital Parks-East<\/strong><\/mark> (#338), an officially counted <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\">National Park Unit<\/mark><\/strong>, it is comprised of other &#8220;counted&#8221; and &#8220;not counted&#8221; units, 2 of which we visited Sunday&#8230;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Piscataway Park<\/strong><\/mark> and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Fort Washington Park<\/strong><\/mark>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1d6a06\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Fort Washington Park<\/strong><\/mark> (#339), home to historic Fort Washington, with great views of the Potomac River.

The Visitor Center, built in the 1820s, once the home of Fort Washington&#8217;s commander, today has a small museum.
