    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 8, 2018 CONTACT: Michael Mitchell 202-671-2338 [email protected] OCTFME Recognizes St. Paul’s Rock Creek Cemetery as the October 2018 Location of the Month Washington, D.C. -- The Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment (OCTFME) recognizes St. Paul’s Rock Creek Cemetery as the October 2018 Location of the Month, a fitting choice for the month of Halloween! St. Paul’s Rock Creek Cemetery is a gem of hidden tranquility in the midst of an urban setting. Lush landscape, breathtaking sculptures and notable history combined makes Rock Creek Cemetery the most beautiful and evocative public cemetery in the nation’s capital. Located at Rock Creek Church Road, NW, and Webster Street, NW, in the Petworth neighborhood of Washington, DC, it is the city’s oldest cemetery. Dating from 1719, the Cemetery was designed as part of the rural cemetery movement first advocated by the architect Sir Christopher Wren in 1711. The burial ground in the churchyard’s urban space, with its natural 86-acre rolling landscape, functions as both cemetery and public park. The beautiful landscape, the Cemetery’s famous residents, and the stunning variety of sculptures and monuments make Rock Creek Cemetery a place of pilgrimage for people of all faiths and an excellent setting for film, television and event productions. Rock Creek Cemetery serves as the final resting place to some of Washington’s most notable residents including (in alphabetical order): Henry Adams, Author and diplomat Eugene Allen, White House butler for 34 years and inspiration for the 2013 movie, “The Butler” Abraham Baldwin, Signer of the U.S.

Landscapes documented through the CLI are those that individually meet criteria set forth in the National Register of Historic Places such as historic sites, historic designed landscapes, and historic vernacular landscapes or those that are contributing elements of properties that meet the criteria. In addition, landscapes that are managed as cultural resources because of law, policy, or decisions reached through the park planning process even though they do not meet the National Register criteria, are also included in the CLI. The CLI serves three major purposes. First, it provides the means to describe cultural landscapes on an individual or collective basis at the park, regional, or service-wide level. Secondly, it provides a platform to share information about cultural landscapes across programmatic areas and concerns and to integrate related data about these resources into park management. Thirdly, it provides an analytical tool to judge accomplishment and accountability.

  • Before Incorporation
    BEFORE INCORPORATION In 1763, William Diggs bought 4,483 acres that included what is, in the present day, the western part of Bladensburg, nearly all of Takoma Park, Rock Creek Cemetery, Brentwood, Mount Rain- ier, Colmar Manor, and Cottage City. Source: M-NCPPC 1696 land patents overlaid on a 20th Century map of the area. The “Scotland” patent (center on D.C. line) covers much of the present Mount Rainier. In the early 1800s, the locale of present-day Mount Rainier was included in several large estates, called patents. In mid-century, the Mount Rainier area was included in the Bladensburg District. Bladensburg was a busy river port on the Potomac’s Eastern Branch (the Anacostia) before the harbor filled with silt from eroded fields upstream. Bunker Hill Road connected Bladensburg with Georgetown. Bladensburg Road also existed at that time and was the route that the British took into Washing- ton in 1814 after fighting the American forces in the area that is now Fort Lincoln Cemetery. War of 1812 Gen. Ross’s Route from Patuxent River to Bladensburg, August 1814 Present-day Mount Rainier would be just off the left-side edge of the inset. The “Field” in the lower left quadrant of the inset is about where Fort Lincoln Cemetery exists today. In this 1854 plat of the Dodge Farm/Granby, Bunker Hill Road runs along the top and today’s Monroe Street along the bottom. The diagonal dashed line is the D.C. boundary. The area inside Maryland below Bunker Hill Road covers today’s 3800 blocks of 30th to 33rd Streets.
