Eventually, Fort Belvoir expanded to encompass much of the area, and in 1992 the Woodlawn Baptist Church razed its 1872 building to build a larger one (and was merged into the Pillar Church in 2014). However, Woodlawn Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and as a National Historic Landmark in 1998, and is maintained as a museum by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Expansion of Fort Belvoir and Route 1 in the area while preserving those historic sites is a current controversy.
