Stanton Park

Located in the Capital Hill area of Washington, D.C., Stanton Park is one of the four major parks in the Capital Hill Parks unit. 

Stanton Park was part of Pierre L'Enfant's original 1791 plan for Washington, D.C., though he called it "No. 5." After the Civil War, the park was named for President Lincoln's Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton.
