Visit the "War and Peace Corner" of our nation's capital
The Northwest corner of the National Mall could be considered the "War and Peace Corner" of our nation's capital. It is home to this country's most famous veterans memorials, which draw tens of millions of visitors each year. It is also home to the headquarters of the U.S. Institute of Peace, and to other symbols and sites with peace themes, which, while generally less prominent, offer an important and complementary narrative.
In 2017, USIP launched the Peace Trail on the National Mall to further enhance the experience of visiting our nation's capital. Anchored at USIP and tracing a path to a dozen other key sites in the vicinity, the reference guide highlights peace themes, elevating examples of key figures, institutions and moments in history that demonstrate America's enduring commitment to peace.
