What do alcohol, titans of industry and a little-known admiral have in common?
In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” 海角精品黑料’s Matt Kaufax heads to Dupont Circle to learn the obscure backstory behind a monument at its center.
In the warmer months, the Dupont Circle Fountain is the centerpiece of this bustling D.C. neighborhood.
But did you know there was a time when there was an entirely different monument in the exact spot where it now stands?
To uncover this hidden tale, Matt and a familiar Park Ranger went all the way back to the 1880s, to learn about the late Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Dupont 鈥� and his “drunken” statue that predated the fountain many know and love today. Check out their video exploration!
