This Geographic Information System (GIS) map, created in 2020 by research staff and students from the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration (IPA), will point you to murals, sculptures, paintings and other artistic creations around the City of Newark and UD’s campus. Then, as a knowledgeable walking buddy might, it will give you some of the backstory of each site.

Most Newarkers are aware of the history behind the University of Delaware’s Memorial Hall – the stately building that was constructed in memory of Delawareans killed in World War I.
However, while the building is the city’s most prominent war memorial, several lesser-known sites around the city also pay tribute to Newarkers who gave their lives in service to their country.

Kennedy was assassinated following a primary in California on June 6, 1968. University of Delaware Masters of Liberal Arts student, Kristi Halberg, has created a website to explore the images and memories from the funeral train's journey.
