Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Public Transit

This memorial was erected by the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, to honor Albert Pike's (1809-1891) influential role in the Masons. Pike was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and this is the only outdoor statue of a confederate in Washington, DC. As a result, the memorial stirred opposition since it was first planned.

Sculptor: Gaetano Trentanove
