Free Bike Tour "Off the Beaten Path: Discover Lonely and Overlooked Landmarks" This Saturday, October 20, from 1:00 - 4:00 Meet at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Plaza, at the base of the memorial steps. Tour is sponsored by the National Park Service. Note that all riders must have their own bikes, helmets, and water.
You may have seen them on a map, driven past them hundreds of times, or even walked up to one of them out of curiosity. What are they, who do they memorialize, and, more importantly, why are they here?
In a city full of colossal and iconic memorials to great men and even greater deeds, these statues, urns, and symbolic gestures of friendship and remembrance can be found all over DC, yet, their stories have gone largely untold, until now. Grab your bike and join National Park Service Rangers to find out the stories of these lonely landmarks. Questions? Event contact: 202-438-4391 Email: jason_martz@nps.gov
