Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

While many are familiar with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, Philadelphia’s own monument honors the fallen heroes of the American Revolutionary War. Located in Washington Square, which was once a cemetery, the tomb houses the remains of a soldier discovered there. Visitors can pay their respects and reflect on the sacrifices made during the nation’s formative years, surrounded by the quiet, historic grounds that offer a poignant reminder of the past.
