Below Grief and History, another life-size classical female figure represents Victory, holding high a laurel wreath and carrying an oak branch, signifying strength. Below her are the infant Mars, the god of war, and the infant Neptune, god of the sea. The shaft of the monument is decorated with wreaths, ribbons and scallop shells.

View on Map
The sculptural monument to President James A. Garfield by John Quincy Adams Ward (1830-1910), cast by The Henry-Bonnard Co. of New York, with a pedestal designed by Richard Morris Hunt, is an outstanding example of American sculpture. The monument stands in the circle at First Street, S.W., and Maryland Avenue, where it was unveiled on May 12, 1887.
President Garfield was elected in 1880 and was assassinated in 1881 by a disgruntled office-seeker after serving only four months of his term. The memorial was commissioned in 1884 by the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, of which Garfield had been a member. The society raised almost $28,000 to pay the sculptor. Some of the funds were raised by The Garfield Monument Fair, which was held in the Rotunda and Statuary Hall in 1882.
Capitol Reflecting Pool (Pass By)
Located between the Botanic Garden and the U.S. Capitol, the Capitol Reflecting Pool was originally envisioned by Pierre L’Enfant (1754-1825), the architect and engineer who designed the plan of the city of Washington DC in 1791.
L'Enfant had planned to redirect the waters of the Tiber Creek into a canal falling into a cascade and pool at the foot of Capitol Hill. This would have been one of the most important water effects with which L'Enfant intended to beatify the city of Washington DC. Although the city plan was simplified in February 1972 by Major Andrew Ellicott, it retained some of the original characteristics.
When the Washington Canal was built in 1815, it did not incorporate any of L’Enfant’s basins or cascades. It ran down 3rd Street and crossed over the Botanic Garden, but it soon became a sewer and was channeled into a sewer line in the early 1870s.
Lincoln Memorial (Pass By)
The Lincoln Memorial is a U.S. national memorial that honors the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. An example of neoclassicism, it is in the form of a classical temple and is located at the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Henry Bacon is the memorial's architect and Daniel Chester French designed the large interior statue of a seated Abraham Lincoln (1920), which was carved in marble by the Piccirilli brothers.[3] Jules Guerin painted the interior murals, and the epitaph above the statue was written by Royal Cortissoz. Dedicated on May 30, 1922, it is one of several memorials built to honor an American president. It has been a major tourist attraction since its opening, and over the years, has occasionally been used as a symbolic center focused on race relations and civil rights.
