Named in honor of Union Gen. George H. Thomas, a Virginian slaveholder whose decision to remain loyal to the Union caused his family to disown him. The man who once enslaved Black people went on to command them on campaign, praising USCT conduct at the Battle of Nashville.
When asked by a burial detail if Confederate bodies should be interred by state after a battle outside Chattanooga, Thomas responded “Mix ‘em up. I’m tired of states rights.”

This park has changed so much. From homeless making it a homeless park to a revised and cleaned park you now see. Dog owners have taken over the center.
Cool buildings, but loud due to the huge number of cars
This place is a prominent square and intersection of 8-10 roads which captivates the mind. There are several beautiful buildings around and also a church. There are several traffic signals using which one can cross over from one road to the other. The overall area is clean and I want to go here again.
Very beautiful in center of Washington just in middle of modern building, that gives you a deep breath
This is just a nice and clean circle to walk by in order to cross streets.
The church in the front is beautiful and always be careful of cars when walking.

It's a nice park with a pretty scenery and definitely adds history and art to Washington DC. However it's very small and it lacks seats, so you can do much but appreciate it for a short amount of time.
What a great circle, I mean, you can go right around it in a car or on a bike or whatever your fancy. North - South on 14th is the best way to go around because you can hit most of the traffic lights. Be careful of the pedestrians crossing over M tho, they don't look!
I may just go down and hang out at this circle later.
