Atlantic City's World War I Memorial is a circular classical monument that feels deliberately removed from the noise of the boardwalk and casinos. Its columns, sculpture, and formal setting give the city a more solemn civic landmark than most visitors expect.
The memorial is a short stop, but a worthwhile one if you are exploring beyond the beachfront strip. It pairs well with other Atlantic City history sights, including Absecon Lighthouse and the older residential streets inland.
