The DVMF manages three veteran memorials and shares joint responsibility with the City of Baltimore for the War Memorial Building in Baltimore. These memorials recognize the contributions of the men and women who fought for freedom both abroad and at home, and they educate present and future generations about their sacrifices.
Maryland WWII Memorial
Location: Route 450 at Naval Academy Bridge; 1920 Ritchie Highway, Annapolis, MD 21401
A worldwide design competition conducted by a seven-member selection panel culminated in March 1997 with the unanimous selection of a design by architect Secudino Fernandez. The names of 6,628 Maryland residents who lost their lives are etched in granite, providing a lasting tribute. The Memorial was dedicated on July 23, 1998.
Vietnam War Memorial
Location: Middle Branch Park; 2825 South Hanover Street, Baltimore, MD 21225
The Maryland Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission formed after approval of Joint Resolution 22 of 1983 to design and erect a memorial for those Maryland citizens who served, were missing, or died in Vietnam. Funded by corporations, citizens, and the General Assembly, it was dedicated on May 28, 1989.
Korean War Memorial
Location: 299 Boston Street; Baltimore, MD 21224
The Maryland Korean War Memorial is located at the Canton Water Park. The Korean War Memorial Commission was established in July 1986.
Gold Star Families Monument
Location: Route 450 at Naval Academy Bridge; 1920 Ritchie Highway, Annapolis, MD 21401
Created by Medal of Honor recipient Hershel “Woody” Williams, this monument honors families who made the ultimate sacrifice, preserves their memory, and reminds us that freedom is not free.
War Memorial Building

The War Memorial and Plaza face City Hall and honor Marylanders who died in WWI, with inscriptions for each county and Baltimore City.

Maintenance is shared by the State and City of Baltimore.
