Peace Trail on the National Mall

Anchored at USIP and tracing a path to a dozen other key sites in the vicinity, the Peace Trail on the National Mall brings a “peace lens” to the experience of visiting the National Mall. It may be used as a self-guided walking tour or a reference guide, elevating stories of key figures, institutions, and moments in history that demonstrate America’s commitment to peace. Classrooms may also visit the trail virtually using the app and accompanying activity kit.
