Peter Muhlenberg Memorial, Bronze memorial in Wakefield neighborhood, United States.

The Peter Muhlenberg Memorial features a four-foot bronze bust mounted on an eight-foot limestone pedestal surrounded by a concrete exedra.

Congress authorized the memorial construction in 1928, but financial difficulties during the Great Depression delayed completion until 1980.

The memorial displays three carved sides representing Muhlenberg's roles as clergyman, soldier, and statesman, with corresponding symbols and dates.

The National Park Service maintains this one-acre park bordered by Connecticut Avenue, Ellicott Street, and 36th Street NW.

Caroline M. Hufford, a descendant of Peter Muhlenberg, created the bronze sculpture for this memorial dedicated to her ancestor.
