Linnaean Hill Barn

It is just a part of the Pierce estate, which has a very interesting history and is presented here as a highlight in itself.

Rapids Bridge

One of the more modern bridges in this valley. Many may be prettier with their stone arches, but this one is extremely useful in this area for getting to Capitol Stones.

Fort DeRussy (Rock Creek Park)

Formerly an artillery position, today there is not much left except for a few piles of earth. Information boards provide background information, but entering the structural remains is currently (2024) prohibited.
