Dedicated in 1985, this 2.5-acre area of the park is a memorial to musician John Lennon, who was murdered nearby on December 8, 1980.
This memorial, dedicated in 2004, honors the 16 million Americans who served in the armed forces during World War II (1939-45).
The U.S. Supreme Court met here from 1791, when the building was finished, to 1800, when America’s capital moved from Philadelphia to Washington.
