The memo­r­i­al hon­ors the con­tri­bu­tion of women to Amer­i­ca’s mil­i­tary. In 1932, McKim, Mead and White designed a gate­way to Arling­ton Ceme­tery, and in 1997 a most­ly under­ground muse­um opened behind that his­toric struc­ture. It fea­tures infor­ma­tion­al dis­plays and his­toric arti­facts and uni­forms.
