Thanks to EarthCam's partnership with the Trust for the National Mall and the National Park Service, anyone can experience Washington, D.C. from the top of the Washington Monument!

Monument Cam provides an unobstructed view of some of the National Mall’s most recognized memorials and sites including the WWII Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Reflecting Pool, and Constitution Gardens.

A partnership between the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Trust for the National Mall, and the National Park Service, alongside civic partner Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), The Tidal Basin Ideas Lab is an urgent call to action to address the pressing need for critical repairs and improvements, including a crumbling sea wall and daily flooding, taking into consideration environment, culture and visitor experience. The project marks a critical juncture for the landscape of the nation’s capital, envisioning and reshaping a deeply symbolic and beloved public space that communicates the history, values, and aspirations of the country.

The Trust for the National Mall, The National Cherry Blossom Festival and the National Park Service are thrilled to announce the introduction of the #BloomCam, to allow people to virtually monitor DC’s famous budding cherry blossom trees along the Tidal Basin in real time as they bloom.

The U.S. Park Police Horse Mounted Unit is one of the oldest police equestrian units in the United States. The Trust for the National Mall led this milestone project to create a new Education Center to welcome the public and a state-of-the-art sustainable home for the horses and officers of the Mounted Unit on the National Mall.

Designed pro bono by Wolfgang Oehme  in 1983, this small garden (350 x 60 feet) occupies a prominent place on the National Mall.

The first phase of our three-year National Treasure initiative with the National Trust for Historic Preservation will be to design, host, and share results from an Ideas Lab presented by American Express—a forum for generating a bold, ambitious, and integrated vision for the Tidal Basin.
