Beautiful, peaceful memorial that is never over-crowded. This is also a lovely spot for small weddings and elopements and has been a particularly popular place in 2020 during the pandemic. Our wedding photography team (HannahBjorndal.com) loves photographing couples here and has found it to be the perfect combination of classic DC and originality - it doesn't feel touristy, overdone or too busy. To have your wedding here, you need to file for a permit with the National Park Service. You will get a 2-hour time slot and the permit is very inexpensive, I believe it is currently between 140-250. It is hard to get to if you have many guests driving and parking themselves, so I'd recommend having transportation arranged for your group! This is also a great option for JUST wedding day portraits. If you are interested in a very classic DC backdrop but your wedding venue doesn't have photo locations that you love, this is a very easy spot to visit with your wedding party, family or just the two of you. Again, definitely recommend hiring a transportation service to take you to and from! You will need to file for a photo permit here as well, and it is 140. They only issue one permit at a time at this location, so file for it as early as you can! This spot is so picturesque and there are a lot of options nearby for other photo locations - if you are looking for the perfect spot in DC to elope, this is it!

This is a great place. There is not a lot of traffic here and there is a lot of shade. It's a great p[lace to relax on a hot day in DC. There is also a lot of serenity to be found here. It allows you to meditate on the great sacrifices our soldiers have made to preserve this country. When you need a place to refocus during a trip to DC, this is is.
This is one of the lesser known memorials along the National Mall. It remembers DC natives who fell during WWI. It’s a beautiful piece of architecture and generally a quiet space to take a moment and reflect.
Great spot for taking portraits
A nice little memorial. The stone feels amazing. Not a lot of people around so it gives it a peaceful, almost forgotten touch. Worth a visit.
