Taft Memorial

Located just north of the U.S. Capitol, is The Taft Memorial. The memorial is a bell tower dedicated to Robert A. Taft (son of William H. Taft, 27th President of the United States). Robert A. Taft served as a senator from Ohio, and later as Senate Majority Leader. A staunch republican, he led the Conservative Coalition in opposition of the New Deal.

The Taft Memorial itself was built in 1959 with Tennessee marble, and showcases a 10-foot bronze sculpture of Robert A. Taft. Directly above the statue, the following words are inscribed:

"This Memorial to Robert A. Taft, presented by the people to the Congress of the United States, stands as a tribute to the honesty, indomitable courage, and high principles of free government symbolized by his life."

Carl and Carla Price from Plymouth, England said:

"...We both had a fantastic time and thought that it was great value for money. Robert was an exceptional guide, combining both his vast local knowledge and history of the areas we visited along with his obvious great love and enthusiasm for the city."

Mike from Albany, NY said:

"My family and I went on your 3:00 pm tour on Monday. We had a great time and wanted to pass along positive feedback on Robert. He is a very knowledgeable, thoughtful person, and carried himself in a way that would make any company proud. I would recommend that you that you make sure you retain an employee like that. There are many "entertainers" out there in the tour business, but not many sincere real people."
