Welcome
This online map is designed to help you locate and learn about commemorative works in Washington, DC. You can display memorials by theme, and view the name and a brief description of each memorial by clicking an icon on the map. Click the "learn more" link to see the full history and significance of each memorial, as well as view photos and tips contributed by the public.
The map is also linked with the location-based social networking site, Foursquare, so you can "check-in" to a location, add photos and tips, and compete against your friends to become the "mayor" of your favorite monuments and statues. If you don't have a Foursquare account, you can also contribute photos directly on the site using the "upload photo" feature.
Please help us improve this map
We've released this map as a working draft, and welcome your feedback on its usability and accuracy. Are we missing a memorial in your neighborhood? Is there other information you think we should provide? Got ideas for how we can expand the map in the future? Please let us know »
