beautiful Fort DuPont Park.

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:10.145
I'm Kym Elder, the Program
Manager (NPS logo appears)

00:00:10.145 --> 00:00:13.290

as a program overseeing
the 156-year old remnants

00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:24.170
of Civil War fortifications
that once encircled

00:00:24.170 --> 00:00:27.780
the entire nation's capital,
protecting the Union city

00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:30.310
against the Confederate army attack.

00:00:30.310 --> 00:00:33.380
