Washington, DC is known around the world for its parks and opens spaces, but very few know about the social, economic, or environmental factors that were behind creating the system we have today. Park land comprises over 20 percent of the land area in the District and is as important to defining the character of the city as is the limit on building heights. This tour will explore why the city’s first park planner was fired by George Washington, how an 1870 Congressional Act made every property owner in the District responsible for maintaining a part of our park system, and much more. Tour takes place outside only, no interiors of locations.

Tour Theme: Green DC

When Civil War began in 1861, the Union Army constructed a vast ring of earthen forts to protect the Capital City from Confederate invasion. The forts were dismantled after the war and allowed to return to their natural state. In the 1920s and 30s, they were transferred to the National Park Service, where planners dreamed of a parkway and trail that would circle the entire city. This vision was partially achieved in the hills east of the Anacostia River, where the relative lack of urban development allowed for the creation of a band of protected forest six miles long, with the Fort Circle Trail running the length of it. This hiking tour will explore the southern third of the trail.

Presented and led by DC-native, professional tour guide, and proud resident of Congress Heights Nathan Harrington.
A note about directions: At the end of the tour at Francis A. Gregory Neighborhood Library, take W4 Metrobus at 37th St. and Alabama Ave. SE to Deanwood Metro Station.
