LND Project Historian Brent McKee recently traveled to Washington DC to document the legacy of New Deal public works around the city. Brent’s research is laying the groundwork for a forthcoming pocket map and guide to New Deal Washington DC. The map will span multiple categories of projects: major New Deal public works, notable New Deal murals, walkable sites near the Washington Monument, CCC work sites in the District, and other prominent sites farther out. Over the past few years, Brent has carried out extensive research about the New Deal at the National Archives, and thousands of entries to our New Deal database and map draw from the sources he has uncovered. The New Deal map of Washington DC will bring these primary sources together and provide a guided tour of the most prominent New Deal sites. Like our previous maps of New York City and San Francisco, the Washington DC map will provide insights for citizens, visitors, historians, preservationists, teachers and students.
