Memorials by Moonlight
This is the classic Washington walk. You’ll visit each of the city’s famous memorials: the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Abraham Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial, and the World War II Memorial. There’s something for everyone--neoclassical architecture, modern sculpture, haunting remembrances of war, historical insights, and even funny tales We’ll start with the big picture, just south of the Washington Monument, where the view stretches unencumbered from Thomas Jefferson’s memorial to the White House. Then we’ll head toward the evening sun. Along the way, our guides set the scene for the Federal City’s original plans to memorialize its national heroes and how they’ve evolved with time. As we approach each memorial, you’ll hear its particular story and then have time to look around yourself. By dark we’ll be strolling along the tree-lined Reflecting Pool, watching the lights come up in America’s capital city.
