Walking distance from home, these Civil War fortifications make for a unique picnic spot. Fun for kids to explore. Old cannons. President Lincoln came under fire here! Off-the-beaten-path DC.

During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln visited this Fort, and was here that he was the only U.S. President to be actively fired on in battle. This is a beautiful, wide grassy park perfect for a picnic, to play games, or watch the sunset.
