Lincoln Park (Washington D.C.)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lincoln Park is an urban park located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It was planned by Pierre L'Enfant to be the point from which all distances in North America were measured. Situated one mile directly east of the United States Capitol, Lincoln Park is bounded by 11th Street on the west, 13th Street on the east, East Capitol Street NE on the North, and East Capitol Street SE on the south. It is also known as Lincoln Square.
The park features two important sculptures: the Emancipation Memorial, the first of several memorials in Washington honoring Abraham Lincoln, and the Mary McLeod Bethune Memorial [1].
