Since 1912, there has been a rich tradition of placing war memorials and remembrances of noted Minnesotans from the state's history and government on the Capitol Mall. They are created in various forms, including sculpture, flower gardens, plaques and public spaces.
A self-guided brochure, available for purchase at the Capitol's Information Desk, takes visitors along the Capitol Mall and explains the history of this public space and the significance of each of the memorials. An online tour is available for guests who want to learn more about the memorials before arriving at the Capitol.
