About This Memorial

The Maryland Korean War Memorial, located at Canton Water Park in Baltimore, commemorates the 527 Maryland citizens who died in hostile action during the Korean War, along with those still missing in action. Its centerpiece is a 50-foot diameter granite ring, with the northern half engraved with soldiers' names and the southern half featuring panels depicting the war's history. A 26-foot diameter map of Korea is embedded in granite at the center, flanked by flagpoles flying the American, POW/MIA, and Maryland state flags. The memorial, dedicated on May 27, 1990, also includes a bust of General MacArthur. It was funded through a 1988 bond bill and constructed by a commission established in 1986.

About This Memorial

The Baltimore Battle Monument commemorates the 39 Baltimoreans who died during the War of 1812, specifically honoring those who fought in the battles of Fort McHenry and North Point. Designed by architect Maximilian Godefroy, it features a unique blend of Egyptian and Classical elements, including a cenotaph-like base and a Roman fasces column. The monument is crowned by 'Lady Baltimore,' a symbolic figure holding a laurel wreath and rudder, sculpted by Antonio Capellano. It holds historical significance as the first war memorial in America to list all casualties regardless of rank and became the official emblem of Baltimore City in 1827. The monument's restoration in 2011 aimed to preserve its intricate sculptures and masonry for future generations.

About This Memorial

The Grove of Remembrance Pavilion in Druid Hill Park is a World War I memorial honoring First Lieutenant Merrill Rosenfeld, a Baltimore attorney who died in the 1918 Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Designed by architect E.L. Palmer, the rustic pavilion was funded by Rosenfeld's father in 1925 to commemorate his son's military sacrifice and achievements. The site includes a bronze memorial recognizing Rosenfeld and five other Baltimore attorneys who died in the war, with the pavilion situated within a grove of trees planted in 1919 to honor WWI casualties. The memorial highlights Baltimore's German Jewish community's contributions and the city's wartime losses.

"The Grove of Remembrance is right off the parking lot for the Maryland Zoo. It was planted in 1919 to commemorate the dead of the First World War. The pavilion within it sits right next to the East Coast Greenway, and is a picturesque and quiet spot. On our visits to the zoo, it's always nice to stop by the pavilion before or after for a more tranquil experience. Check out the "Baltimore Heritage" video or article on Google for more information on the Grove's history, and make sure to stop by the next time you're at the zoo."
