Bottom Line: A simple but elegant statute for a president with a short term who gave his life for his country.
Although President Garfield only served for four months before he was tragically assassinated, he has earned the honor of being memorialized in front of the U.S. Capital. This statue honors all of his lifetime achievements including those as a teacher, Army Major General, congressman, senator and of course the 20th president. Had President Garfield not been elected president he would not have been killed at the young age of 49 by a jealous office seeker.
Although President Garfield isn’t the most well known president and this memorial isn’t the most famous, it’s worth a stop here to enjoy some off-​the-​beaten-​path DC.
