Memorials
Harding Memorial, Marion, Ohio, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is the president's burial site
Peace Treaty Marker in Somerville, New Jersey. In 1921, at the estate of New Jersey Governor Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, Warren Harding signed the peace treaty that ended America's involvement in World War I. Today, the estate has been replaced with mini-malls. The marker remains in a patch of grass near a Burger King parking lot along Route 28, just north of the Somerville traffic circle.
Harding Memorial, Seattle, Washington. In 1925, a memorial was erected in Seattle at Woodland Park to commemorate the site of Harding's next-to-last public address on July 27, 1923. In 1977, the memorial was demolished and buried under the Woodland Park Zoo's African Savanna exhibit. The memorial's only surviving elements—two life-sized bronze statues of Boy Scouts that once saluted the image of Harding—were donated to the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts of America. One stands at the Boy Scouts headquarters in Seattle; the other at Camp Parsons, a Boy Scouts camp in Brinnon, Jefferson County, Washington.
