The monument makes for great phot opps - it's easy yo get your picture with any of the figures. I'm sure this is a popular attraction as the tempereatures climb due to the waterfall elements of the memorial. More

If you want to see memorials, this one is not to be missed. Constructed in 5 'rooms' this memorial tells a story of FDR's achievements and has been done in such a fantastic way. You wont be disappointed More

This is an often overlooked monument/memorial. My wife and I had seen it on maps but consistently passed by without entering.

Like all of the memorials on the mall, this one is a... More

One caution: it is not particularly close to public transportation so you need to rely... More

It's of the main Mall area, it's on the Tidal Basin and not as tall or visible as many of the other monuments, however it is incredibly well done, thought out and incredible. From all the imported stone, parts of speech the use of water and space, we went back for a 2nd visit to see it at night and... More
