Just North of the White House is LaFayette Park. This seven acre park is home to five monuments. Four of these are for Revolutionary War Heros from foreign countries. Those to the Frenchmen LaFayette and Rochambeau can be found on the South East and South West corners. The monument to Tadeusz Kościuszko of Poland is located on the North East Corner, and Friedrich von Steuben of Prussia is located on the North West. Each of these men contributed greatly to the Revolutionary War effort. The Marquis de LaFayette was instrumental in persuading the French to join on the side of the American Colonies and served as an aid to Washington and later a a General. Rochambeau was selected by the French to lead the French Armies fighting for the Colonies, a position LaFayette had sought for himself. Kościuszko was a volunteer in the Continental Army and went on to become the Head Engineer of the Army. Steuben joined the Continental Army at Valley Forge and was responsible for establishing standardized training as well improving camp sanitation. The monuments for these foreign patriots are all equal in size and presence. However, the center of the park is dominated by an equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson. Based on the statues you would think it was Jackson Park.
