Military
The Grand Parade was the focal point of the sprawling log cabin city at Jockey Hollow, where guard details assembled each day for inspection, General Orders from Washington’s headquarters were distributed, and formal military reviews were held. It was also the place where those guilty of serious crimes were executed and buried. The original Grand Parade stood beyond this open ground in the woods to the north, measuring 400 yards long and 100 yards wide, six times the size of this clearing.
