About This Memorial
The Peace Cross is a World War I memorial located in Bladensburg, Maryland, erected in 1925 to honor local soldiers who died in the war. This 40-foot-tall cross-shaped monument has been the subject of legal debates regarding its placement on public land, with courts initially ruling it unconstitutional before the Supreme Court ultimately allowed it to remain. The memorial features inscriptions commemorating the fallen soldiers and represents one of many cross-shaped war memorials built across America after World War I. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places and underwent restoration efforts in 2021 to preserve this century-old landmark.
