Memorial AreaIn the early 1930s, the Wakefield National Memorial Association created the buildings in the Memorial Area as part of the nation's commemoration of George Washington during the bicentennial of his birth. The Association constructed these buildings to be suggestive of a colonial farm complex, and did not construct them based on historical or archeological evidence of the buildings that existed here in the 1700s.Area Highlights:Memorial House Museum, Building X, Colonial Revival Garden, Farm Workshop, Colonial Revival Kitchen, Spinning and Weaving Shop, Farm Animals
The Picnic Area is a great spot to enjoy lunch with family and friends. It also offers access to the Nature Trail.
