The Washington National Mall

The Washington National Mall, a 128-page color book, is the first general history of the National Mall, published in 2007.

The Washington National Mall explains the history and significance of each monument and museum. Familiar spots, such as the Washington Monument and the Smithsonian Museums, are all here, as are forgotten landmarks, such as the Fish Commission and the Redwood Tree House.

Detailed historical information is presented in an easy-to-read and browsable format. There are more than 100 archival photographs, many never before published, as well as recent photographs of the monuments and museums.
