The Maryland Revolutionary War Memorial Park at the Governor Ritchie Overlook

Maryland Revolutionary War Memorial Park

Our Project

The Maryland American Revolutionary War Memorial Project’s goal is to create a memorial to tell the story of Maryland and Marylanders for their deeds and sacrifices that help found our great nation.  This history crosses over all the nationalities, colors, sexes, creeds and religions of the peoples of Maryland. It is an extremely important story that we want to tell so people will always know who and what contributions and sacrifices Maryland gave to establish this nation. 

We want to revitalize an already important Maryland landmark The Governor Ritchie Overlook.  The Overlook is weathered and would greatly benefit from a renovation to restore it to its original condition.

Our coalition of Maryland’s Revolutionary War lineage societies objective is to site, design, fund, and construct this memorial in our state capital with the dedication during our Nation’s 250th anniversary.   

The Concept

The Maryland American Revolutionary War Memorial Project’s goal is to create a memorial to tell the story of Maryland and Marylanders for their deeds and sacrifices that helped found our great nation.  This history crosses over all the nationalities, colors, sexes, creeds and religions of the peoples of Maryland.  It is an extremely important story that we want to tell so people will always know who and what contributions and sacrifices Maryland gave to establish this nation.
Our concept is to revitalize the current approach to the Governor Ritchie Overlook on Governor Ritchie Highway in Annapolis.  This will provide a much needed face lift to this location and will save Maryland resources.  The incorporation of an educational and interactive Revolutionary War Memorial will enhance the area that already includes the World War 2 and Gold Star Mothers Memorials.  Our goal includes recognition of the important Maryland people, places and events that shaped our country.  Maryland played a pivotal role during the American Revolution and we want to tell that story.
Our coalition of Maryland’s Revolutionary War lineage societies objective is to site, design, fund, and construct this memorial in our state capital with the dedication during our Nation’s 250th Anniversary.
