African American Heritage Park by Ewingjr98
The African American Heritage Park occupies nine acres between the historic Alexandria National Cemetery and the newly developed Carlyle Neighborhood. The park was built around a tiny one acre cemetery from the late 1800s that has just six of the 21 original grave sites remaining.
The park is managed by the Alexandria Black History Museum and includes sculptures such as the bronze trees named "Truths That Rise From the Roots Remembered." There is a trail around the park as well as several memorial plaques describing the history of the black community in the area.
The park opened in 1995.
