Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park spans across several acres of green space featuring walking paths, monuments, and open areas for recreation at the intersection of East Capitol Street.

The land served as the location of Lincoln Hospital from 1862 to 1865, providing medical care for 2,575 Union soldiers during the Civil War.

The park contains the Emancipation Memorial depicting President Lincoln and a freed slave, alongside a statue of civil rights leader Mary McLeod Bethune.

Visitors can access the park daily between 4:00 AM and 11:30 PM, with entrance points available from 11th Street, 13th Street, and East Capitol Street.

This location holds the distinction of being the first public site in the United States to be named after President Abraham Lincoln in 1867.
