This monument is a lesser known one in Indiana Plaza near the National Mall. It doesn't get many visitors with the exception of pigeons that rest on it. Despite that, it's still worth stopping by if you walk by and looking up its history.

The Grand Army of the Republic Memorial is a nice plaza area right in downtown DC. It's a bit overshadowed by all the nearby museums, but the Memorial is surrounded by beautiful cherry trees and is a great place to relax. Convenient to the Gallery Place area and to the Mall.

Catch a quick glimpse of it when you visit the museums from judiciary square metro station

A memorial in the middle of Indiana plaza honoring Dr. Benjamin F. Stephenson, founder of the Grand Army of the Republic, a fraternal organization for Union veterans. It’s well kept (you’ll see a wreath laid at the bottom occasionally) but it’s certainly nothing to plan a trip around or write home about.

Very nice memorial!! Glad to have found this while walking through D.C!

It's a nice place to sit and conversate or have lunch when the weather's warm.

What a beautiful monument!

One of the many statues and squares in Washington.

Beautiful trees and flowers. A bit of quiet in this noisy area.
