The National Mall & Memorial Parks (NPS), Washington, D.C

A brief history:

The National Mall is a grand national park in central Washington, D.C, the capital of the United States.

The urban park is administered by the National Park Service (NPS), which is part of the larger National Mall and Memorial Parks unit.

Officially the National Mall encompasses Constitution Gardens & West Potomac Park but it is more commonly referred to as covering the entire area from it's western-most point, the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the United States Capitol at it's eastern most-point, with the Washington Monument providing the central point.

Here is a list of memorials and monuments which are maintained by the National Park Service (NPS) within the boundary of the National Mall:
