    The National War Correspondents Memorial (sometimes referred to as the War Correspondents Memorial Arch) was built in 1896 by George Townsend, a Civil War journalist, to commemorate those who died covering war and conflict. The monument is an amalgamation of symbolic architecture, sculpture, and engraving. It is maintained by the National Park Service in connection with Antietam National Battlefield.
