It is important for its association with the reorganization and expansion of the U.S. National Guard system in the 20th century. [2]

It currently houses the General James F. Fretterd Community Center of Caroline County, used for county-sponsored services including the county Recreation and Parks Department staff headquarters, and is also available by reservation for community events. [3]
