Sunday Brunch @ Fort Myer Officers' Club

Dot's dear friend from Montgomery, AL, Jean, currently lives in the DC area and they will be visiting with eachother during our time in the city. Jean offered to make reservations for our entire group for Sunday Brunch at the Fort Myer Officers' Club, where she is a member. We are excited to have brunch at this historical landmark and it will give those who wish to visit Arlington Cemetary the chance to do so.

Fort Myer, one of the oldest Army posts in the country, is located adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery near the banks of the Potomac River. In February of 1881, Fort Myer was named in honor of Brigadier General Albert J. Myer who commanded the Signal School for Army and Navy Officers. The Fort Myer Officers’ Club, known as Patton Hall, was built in 1896. General George S. Patton, Jr., commanded Fort Myer as a Colonel from 1938-1940, and the Club was renamed in his honor. Today, the Officers’ Club offers members and guests a formal dining room for lunch and dinner, Sunday Brunch, a casual cafĂ©, two comfortable lounges, holiday and special event parties, and serves as an event space for a variety of occasions.
