The new Frederick Douglass National Historic Site quarter, second issue of 2017 and 37th in the series, was celebrated during the launch ceremony at Douglass’ Cedar Hill home on April 4th. It was released for general circulation the same day. Douglass’ home sits on a hill in the outskirts of Washington, D.C. During his lifetime, his home and the surrounding gardens offered a refuge from the outside world as he worked on his speeches and writings.
Attendees could exchange cash for $10 of quarters in rolls. Each Frederick Douglass quarter features the famous abolitionist seated at a writing desk with his home in the background. The 2017 quarter series honor some of America’s more interesting and unusual parks – Effigy Mounds, Frederick Douglass, and future releases Ozark Riverways, Ellis Island and George Rogers Clark Park.
