LAFAYETTE SQUARE
In the th and th centuries, it was a place for people in the city who were not there. We were told that there were ghosts of known characters who lived there, such as Dolly Madison, the wife of the first president of the United States (yellow house at the entrance to the square in H Street) and Stephen Decatur, a Navy member.
It is now a popular place for tourists who want to see the back of the White House. In the four corners of the square, the figures of characters who took part in the American war of independence, including the valuable French allies of General Lafayette and General de Rochambeau, were involved in helping the young American nation to become liberated from British tutelage. In the middle of the square is the statue of Andrew Jackson, who massacred many of the Cherokee tribe Indians. In H Street, on the side of the street opposite Dolly Madison, you can visit the St. John Church.
