From tiny stone markers to full-scale sculptures, Washington is filled with historic memorials that often go unnoticed in the shadow of its most famous landmarks. What stories are hidden among these overlooked monuments scattered across our nation’s capital, and what do they reveal about the city’s past? It’s time to uncover Washington’s most unusual landmarks and the forgotten narratives behind them.

Join New York Adventure Club for a two-part series that explores Washington, DC’s most unusual — and often overlooked — monuments, memorials, and markers. In Part Two: Beyond the Mall, we’ll venture past the National Mall to uncover unexpected memorials tucked into parks, plazas, and neighborhoods across the city.

Led by Carolyn Muraskin, architectural historian and founder of DC Design Tours, this unique experience will include:

• Joan of Arc Statue — the only equestrian statue of a woman in Washington, celebrating a French heroine with transatlantic symbolism
• Sonny Bono Park — a tiny urban park honoring the entertainer-turned-congressman, and one of the city’s most unexpected memorials
• Inlet Bridge — a rarely noticed structure tied to ambitious—but ultimately unrealized—plans for Washington’s waterways
• Boy Scouts of America Memorial — a dramatic sculptural tribute reflecting early 20th-century ideals of citizenship and service
• Oscar Straus Memorial — honoring a diplomat and reformer whose legacy is often overlooked despite his national impact
• James Buchanan Memorial — a restrained monument to one of the nation’s most controversial presidents, quietly tucked away near Meridian Hill

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Carolyn — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
