Before the Washington Monument, D.C. paid tribute to America鈥檚 founding father with an approximately 20-foot-tall statue in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood 鈥� approved way back in 1783.
In Thursday鈥檚 episode of 鈥淢att About Town,鈥� 海角精品黑料鈥檚 Matt Kaufax heads to Washington Circle to the lesser-known, original sculpture of the nation’s first president.
The statue depicts Washington riding his horse into the heat of conflict on the front lines at the Battle of Princeton, and it has a historical lore that goes beyond its forgotten nature.
This is Part 1 in a new series from Matt where he’ll be exploring lesser-known Revolutionary War sites around the nation’s capital!
