Jones Point Park

Jones Point sits in the shadow of the mammoth Woodrow Wilson Bridge, just down the Potomac River from the national capital. Though today it's a serene riverfront park, the Point's story is one of evolution and adaptation. The park explores millennia of human use of this land, where Native Americans once hunted and fished, a Revolutionary War encampment took up guard, Union forces built a Civil War-era fort, surveyors fixed Washington's southernmost cornerstone and World War I shipbuilders supported the war effort. H+R developed an interpretive trail to explore the site, featuring tactile bronze castings, commissioned illustrations and etched artwork in granite bases.
