National Monuments Foundation - Accomplishments

Accomplishments

The National Monuments Foundation has erected a number of important monuments in the United States. Among these are the World Athletes Monument (also known as The Prince of Wales Monument), the Millennium Gate, the Peace and Justice Gates, the Buckhead Midtown Gates, the Newington-Cropsey Museum, the Princess Royal Millennium Monument, and the John F. Kennedy, Jr Memorial among others. The Millennium Gate, located in Atlanta, interprets and preserves Georgia history, culture, architecture, and philanthropic heritage. It highlights Georgia’s aesthetic and historical relevance to the United States and to the world.

With the successful completion of the World Athletes Monument in 1996, the National Monuments Foundation was established. It became known for skills in developing “state of the art public spaces”. This was confirmed by the awarding of the Palladio Prize for the Peace and Justice Gate and Plaza in 2006 for best new public space in the United States. The foundation’s commitment to classical design for urban spaces has attracted the attention of numerous leaders in cities around the United States and other countries. These leaders desire to accomplish for their communities what the Prince of Wales Olympics Monument and the Millennium Gate has for Atlanta; versatile and energizing community plazas, state of the art educational facilities, and inspirational destinations that anchor their neighborhoods and promote legacies of history, honor and hope.
