Signers' Memorial

"The most lackluster of all the memorials in the area for arguably the greatest sacrifice."

"A memorial in the most beautiful pool I ever saw."

"Garden area with a Memorial to the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It includes the signature names and their respective states. You can capture straight line views as far as the Washington Monument."

"I've lived in DC for 8 years and thought I had been to every DC memorial. This one proved that wrong. It's a small circular memorial in the Constitution Gardens to the right of the Reflecting Pool if you are facing the Lincoln Memorial. You walk over a wooden walk way to this little island with a slab of marble with each the signers signature and profession on it. It's fun to see the occupation of the Founding Fathers, many of whom were lawyers, farmers, and merchants. The best part of this memorial is the beautiful view of the Washington Monument. Since it's a little bit off from the main tourist area, it's a nice respite."

"You can find the Memorial to the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence at the Constitution Gardens Pond along The Mall in D.C. The monument is situated on a small island connected by a short footbridge on the north side of the pond. This is an interesting monument dedicated to the original signers of the Declaration of Independence. It is a simple design and construct, consisting of 56 separate stone blocks, each with a gilded copy of the signer's signature as well as their home town and occupation engraved into the stone. The blocks are arranged in two rows forming a split half circle and is the south side of the pond. In the end, this is a neat attraction to find if you have interest in American history or simply enjoy seeing monuments during your travels. You can comfortably view this monument in just a few minutes and be on your way to other intended sightseeing along The Mall"
