Farragut is the epicenter of corporate Washington DC, so don't be surprised to see loads of serious-looking people walking about. The square though is filled with an upbeat ambience where picnickers can enjoy the sounds of street musicians in summer. On Thursdays in the summer months, the Square hosts free jazz at lunchtime. A statue of Civil War Admiral David Farragut stands in the middle of the square, spyglass in hand. Farragut, coined the phrase 'Full speed ahead!' during the 1864 Battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama.
