Summary
| Description |
English: Fort Stevens Park is the location of a Civil War era fortification on the north side of Washington, D.C. in the Brightwood neighborhood. It was part of the Civil War defenses of the District of Columbia and named for Brig. Gen. Isaac Ingalls Stevens who was killed at the Battle of Chantilly (Fair Oaks), Virginia, on September 1, 1862. The fort was the only place in the District of Columbia that the Confederate Army attacked, and the only the place a sitting US President was fired upon in an armed conflict. General Jubal A. Early lead 20,000 Confederates on July 11–12, 1864. The current fortification is a recreation built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937. |
