About the Dwight d. eisenhower memorial
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, D.C., opened on September 17, 2020. Located at 540 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC, it is a living stage where visitors experience and learn about the Eisenhower legacy.
Once opened, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission transitioned the leadership for the Memorial to the National Park Service in partnership with the Trust for the National Mall. The Trust, along with the Friends of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Committee, ensure programming and preservation will support the vision of the Memorial for decades to come. Since its opening in 2020, it has welcomed more than 1.5 million visitors, just steps from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. The Memorial has provided a foundation for the award-winning Volunteer-in-Parks (VIP) Program, which empowers a diverse community of volunteers to contribute their skills and knowledge through rewarding, engaging, and mutually beneficial experiences.
