Jones Point Park encompasses 60 unique acres in the southeast corner of Alexandria, Virginia. The archaeology and structures preserved here represent at least 5,000 years of human history. Jones Point is a true time capsule: it preserves sites, buildings, and artifacts above and below the ground which are related to Alexandria's prehistory" and its military, shipbuilding, industrial, navigational, domestic and recreational history. Jones Point Park is owned by the National Park Service.

Important underwater archaeological sites may also be preserved offshore. The tip of the historic Point is now submerged, and Great Hunting Creek was once the entrance to the international port of Cameron, an 18th century village which once stood near the present-day Telegraph Road.
