Overlooking the city of Washington D.C. sits Camp Hill. It’s not a campground with tents and campfires. It’s the location of the U.S. Naval Observatory. Camp Hill itself is a summit reaching 278 feet above sea level. You can find it on the Washington West, DC topographic map. Camp Hill offers a unique blend of science and history. While it’s known today for its scientific contributions, its past tells a different tale. The name “Camp Hill” harkens back to the late 18th century. Soldiers were encamped on this very hill. They assisted in constructing the canal and river dam for the nearby armory. Imagine these soldiers, hard at work, shaping the landscape that would one day hold a world-renowned observatory.
