Douglas is memorialized here because of his effort in the 1950's to preserve the canal. If not for Douglas the canal would probably have been obliterated, and replaced by a highway.

Justice Douglas with Hat
A new photograph added to my Monuments set. This bust of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas is located near the C&O Canal terminus in Georgetown. The sculpture is by Wendy Ross, but the straw hat was added by someone last weekend. This bust is normally hatless.
