LBJ Memorial Grove on the Potomac

The Memorial mirrors the Washington Monument across the River in Washington D.C.Photo: NPS

From this distance the seat of national power appears pristine across the river, so President Johnson came here often when he needed to escape from the stresses of building a Great Society. After he died, his wife chose this place for his memorial. A landscape of serpentine paths, white pines, a granite monolith, and an open meadow honors his legacy of social justice and conservation legislation.
