This is a very nice statue between Capitol Hill and the Smithsonians Museums. Don't miss it.

One of the many interesting memorials to see in DC is the Civil War monument to George Gordon Meade found along Pennsylvania Avenue near 3rd Avenue. The monument was created by Charles Grafly in 1927 and is made of Tennessee marble. It shows a a war time Union General Meade standing upon the front line of a battle scene. Meade is surrounding in circular fashion by allegory of figures, each depicting a visual representation of the traits (Loyalty, Chivalry, Progress, Courage, Energy and Fame), which Meade believed were required to make a great war general. The Meade monument is memorable in DC party due to the more abstract nature of the monument's composition, compared to the many other conventional and traditional style monuments to important historical American figures. Overall, this one is less of a priority compared to the more famous monuments directly on The Mall. However, for those with an interest in the American Civil War, this is an important one to find and see.

This is one of the very few civil war memorials dedicated to the side that won, the union. It is a quick and easy stop while you’re walking from the newseum to the Capitol.
