Quantico, VA

united states

Quantico is a small Virginia town 35 miles south of D.C., dominated by the famous Marine Corps base that houses the FBI Academy. Take I-95 directly there from anywhere on the East Coast, or use Route 1 for a more local approach. The base trains Marines and FBI agents, while the Virginia Railway Express connects commuters to Washington. The National Cemetery here displays thousands of white military headstones in perfect formation across the Potomac River hills.
