Francis Scott Key Memorial Park

The Francis Scott Key Memorial Park was built in memory of the American Lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key. The park was built to remember Francis as he wrote the lyrics to the United States' national anthem.

Another memorial in honor of Francis Scott Key is the Key Bridge which is a reinforced concrete arch bridge that crosses the Potomac River. The bridge was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers between 1917 and 1923.

The bridge was originally built as the Aqueduct Bridge to carry the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal across the Potomac. After the canal was abandoned the bridge was converted to a roadway.

There are many memorials erected in memory of Francis Scott Key, these include an auditorium, high and middle schools, a shopping mall along with two bridges throughout the country of America.
