The Enid A. Haupt Garden is a 4.2 acre public garden in the Smithsonian complex, adjacent to the Smithsonian Institution Building (the "Castle") on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.[1][2][3] It was designed to be a modern representation of American Victorian gardens as they appeared in the mid to late 19th century.[2][4] It replaced an existing Victorian Garden which had been built to celebrate the nation's Bicentennial in 1976.[5]
