It saw a Revolutionary War battle in 1777, and George Washington's cabinet even met there during an outbreak of Yellow Fever. Today on German American Friendship Day, we honor those first settlers at the German-American Friendship Garden in DC. #WunderbarTogether ♥️ | German Embassy Washington | Facebook
