Nacotchtank – Duddington – Garfield Park: A Washington Neighborhood through Four Centuries.  This is part of a larger series of events for DC Archaeology Month.

Garfield Park, southeast of the Capitol, has been home to giant carnivorous dinosaurs, Pleistocene hardwood forests, an American Indian village, a colonial plantation, a Federal-era mansion, a Civil War barracks, and very nearly the City Hall.  Nearby stood an early brewery, the original Providence Hospital, and the first school for Black children in the District of Columbia. This tour with Dr. Mark Herlong will examine the evolution of this Capitol Hill neighborhood from prehistory to today’s popular city park.
