Bladensburg Dueling Grounds

You are here Home  > Miscellaneous >  Bladensburg Dueling Grounds

When dueling was outlawed in the district limits, this area, now a park, became the spot where men could defend their honor. The apparition of Commodore Stephen Decatur, killed here in 1820, has been seen here, as well as other shadowy figures.
