The Peter Muhlenberg Memorial Garden in Washington, DC, is a public monument honoring John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, a Lutheran minister, Continental Army general, and Federalist Era American politician. Designed by architect John Harbeson and featuring a bronze bust of Muhlenberg sculpted by his descendant, Caroline M. Hufford, the memorial was completed in 1980 after being authorized by Congress 52 years prior.
Located in a one-acre park in Washington's Wakefield neighborhood, the memorial is owned and maintained by the National Park Service. The site's history dates back to the late 19th century, with the area gradually developed and connected through the efforts of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Epiphany and the Peter Muhlenberg Memorial Association.
