The two eponymous bases are co-located along the west boundary of the cemetery, and Fort McNair is across the Potomac River, in Washington, DC, on the Anacostia River.
On Fort McNair sits Grant Hall[2] which is the location of the 1865 military tribunal of the conspirators of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Each quarter the Hall is open to the public[3] where people can visit the courtroom and learn more about the trials.

Map of Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall.
Fort Myer is headquarters to service personnel working throughout the National Capital Region. The post provides housing, support, and services to thousands of active-duty, reserve, and retired military, members of the U.S. Coast Guard, and their families stationed in the United States Army Military District of Washington. The JBMHH's mission is to operate the Army's community[clarification needed] and support Homeland Security in the nation's capital.
The military's largest child development center, named the Cody Child Development Center (CDC), is located here.[5]
The Pentagram is written and produced here. It is a weekly newspaper that is delivered to the joint base and the Pentagon.
