LBJ Memorial Grove on the Potomac


From this distance the seat of national power appears pristine across the river, so President Johnson came here often when he needed to escape from the stresses of building a Great Society. After he died, his wife chose this place for his memorial. A landscape of serpentine paths, white pines, a granite monolith, and an open meadow honors his legacy of social justice and conservation legislation.

From the southbound lanes of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, follow the sign to turn right to enter the parking lot. This entrance to the park can only be reached from the southbound lanes of the parkway.
