Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Canal National Historic Park — Georgetown Visitor Center

The Arlington Memorial Bridge is a significant architectural structure that symbolizes the enduring union of the North and South, designed to connect the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, with Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Completed in 1932, this neoclassical bridge features granite facing, sculptures, and memorials, serving as a ceremonial entrance to the nation's capital and honoring military personnel who have made sacrifices for democracy.

Recently rehabilitated between 2018 and 2020, the bridge stands as one of the largest infrastructure projects undertaken by the National Park Service, preserving its historical character while enhancing its functionality. It offers scenic routes for pedestrians and cyclists, along with easy access to various memorials and points of interest along Memorial Avenue.
