Description

Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park stands as a wild and wonderful natural gem among a burgeoning metropolis. But even as local residents flock to its trails and roads on weekends to hike, jog and bicycle, they’re in large part unaware of its diverse history. The park’s grounds were the web site of the bloody Civil War Battle of Fort Stevens, and presidents like Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson exercised and picnicked within the park the similar way many visitors do as of late. From the cabin of eccentric poet Joaquin Miller to the oldest house in Washington as of late, the various stories and legends surrounding the park are sure to entertain and inform. Sign up for National Park ranger, writer and historian Scott Einberger as he traces the human, natural and urban history of Rock Creek Park, the largest park within the nation’s capital.
