Fort Barfoot, Virginia, is located east of Blackstone, Nottoway County, Virginia and is home to the Army National Guard Maneuver Training Center. The fort is a training center for Army Guard troops and the United States Marshals Service, FBI, ATF, and the Civil Air Patrol. The installation features 42,000 acres dedicated to field training. Southwest of Fort Barfoot lies the city of Victoria, while Chesterfield and Petersburg, VA, are about 40 miles to the northeast.

Since Fort Barfoot is a Guard training base, it does not include many of the features you might otherwise expect–there is no Child Development Center, nor are there on-post schools. Children can attend school in the city of Blackstone, which has a number of public and private schools like Kenston Forest School and New Horizon Baptist School to choose from.

Off-base housing can be found close by Blackstone, or if you don’t mind a few extra miles, there is also the greater Nottoway County to choose from. Apartments can be found in the Nottoway house or Brentwood Apartments, located a short drive from Fort Barfoot.

You won’t lack things to do in the Fort Barfoot area, but you may need to commit to a bit of driving for the most popular destinations. Just under three hours away, Washington D.C. has no small amount of interesting provision for lovers of sports, history, space exploration, and science. Those who love history should visit the Petersburg National Battlefield, the Edgar Allen Poe museum, and the Smithsonian in nearby Washington D.C. Pocahontas State Park and Point Of Rocks Park are also suitable outdoor attractions, and plenty of fun could be had at The King’s Dominion amusement park.
