Found on the Capital grounds near the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial and Capital Reflecting Pool is the Statue of former President James Garfield, who was unfortunately assassinated in 1881 after just a few months in office.The statue was sculpted by John Quincy Adams Ward in 1887, who also notably created the famous George Washington statue, which stands in front of Federal Hall in New York City. The monument is of President Garfield in suit and overcoat, resting his hand on an open book or perhaps a bible, with his other hand crossing his chest.The pedestal of the James Garfield Monument is also quite nice. It was designed by Richard Morris Hunt in a Beaux-Arts like style, featuring an allegory of three male figures which represent the three careers of Garfield during his life, soldier, scholar and statesman.In the end, this is a nice statue, its located between the Capital and the Botanic Garden, making it quite convenient to see if you are covering these attractions as part of your visit to Capital Hill or the western end of The Mall during your trip to DC.

The capitals always a fun place to visit. This statue is one of many.

It would be nice to see the bronze underneath. Nice place to sit and have a snack

Its quite nice

The historical monument it self is beautiful and I was grateful to be able to see it in all its Glory.

Part of our DC at night tour. All the monuments lit up at night are great.

A nice memorial featuring President James A. Garfield, who was assassinated a few blocks away where the National Gallery of Art is today. Common drop-off point for bus groups and the nearby US Botanic Garden is a lovely respite from the urban jungle outside.

Great place to visit.

Long walk. Great view of the capital.

Everyone always looks at the big things of the mall pay attention to the small stuff

Arboretum is a great leafy refuge by the Amerindian museum

A beautiful place to visit

Best free parking space in DC. Reach before 9 and you will get a spot during weekends.

A memorial for one if the early presidents of US and one of the few who was assassinated whole in the office if I am correct

Where Congress does nothing

Near to national mall capital hall

If you are going to get to the Capitol, you need to get through James A. Garfield to get there.

The James A. Garfield Monument was built to commemorate James Abram Garfield the 20th President of the United States assassinated in 1881.
