dc.descriptionA focal point of the sprawling �log cabin city� at Jockey Hollow was the Grand Parade. Each day, guard details assembled here for inspection, and General Orders from Washington�s headquarters were distributed. This was also the site of formal military reviews. And it was here that those guilty of serious crimes were executed and buried. Originally the Grand Parade was an open field 400 yards long and 100 yards wide. A two-room log cabin located there served as the camp administrative center from which orders were issued and court-martials were held. Two cannon stationed here served as alarm guns to alert the camp of attack. Guards assembled daily on the Grand Parade for inspections and to receive their orders. The Grand Parade also served as a place for military executions; two soldiers were hanged and buried here. Originally the Grand Parade was an open field 400 yards long and 100 yards wide.
