Poplar Lawn Historic District

Its architecture and open space reveal the changing character of a residential neighborhood shaped by nineteenth-century urban growth and the Civil War.

Walk on public paths and sidewalks, keeping a respectful distance from occupied homes. The photograph shows part of the district. Historic designation does not provide interior access to private buildings, and the district extends beyond the central park itself. Check city visitor information for current walking routes, events and maintenance notices before planning a longer visit.
