  • Today I’m going to be showing you all around Fort Ritchie. In this video I will be showing most of what is abandoned of the fort. Not completely abandoned due to over the years of making a mixed use for development and lawsuits have recently hindered planning for the property. Fort Ritchie once known as camp Richie was founded in 1926 for the Maryland national guard. In 1942 the US Army activated the military intelligence training center (MITC) training about 20,000 intelligent troops such as the Ritchie boys. Closed in 1998 under the base realignment and closure commission.

    I wasn't based there, but as a staff car driver I did frequently dropped off military brass in the underground facility in the mountain. I was lucky the Colonel that was assigned to the 1965 Chevy Impala 4 dr. had an aftermarket air conditioner installed. I got such dirty looks at the Pentagon sitting cool as a cucumber as others were sweating to death. I would generally drop them off and come back at a prescribed time. I would find the mess hall , Those large rooms with the ceiling falling down, looks a lot different now but that was beautiful back in 1971 when I was there. Thanks for filming this, safe travels !

    This is sad to me. I was stationed here in 1969-70. Met my husband there. Worked at Site R. It was a beautiful post. Visited about 10 years ago. The chapel was still intact.

    Thanks for documenting the remains of Fort Ritchie. It is by far one of the most important legacies of the U.S. military during WWII that still exists (mostly). Fort Ritchie will be changing in the near future, so it's important that videos like this one are created and exist forever.

    A long creepy tunnel is always scary! Dont blame you at all for running back. I dont think I I could've gone half way. Liked how your so gentle with opening doors, most people barge into them like a swat team.

    This is so awesome. I have so many good memories here as a child, I lived there with my father, who was an officer in the military and I had so many adventures and was able to meet Jimmy Carter who went to the small chapel on the post and I also went inside Site R for Thanksgiving, which is a giant, underground installation with a door as thick as a house. There was a great snowstorm there in the 70s were it snowed several feet and I lived in snow caves and jumped off of our house into giant snow drifts for weeks. So many memories that have impacted my life I would love to live out my days they’re so beautiful what a great place to live…
    Awesome childhood memories !
