Still an active burial ground\, it is the only place in Washington where individuals can be buried at a site directly on Pierre L’Enfant’s 18th century city plan. \nHistoric Congressional Cemetery was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011 and continues to build upon the legacy of over 200 years of American history. The cemetery is administered by the nonprofit Association for the Preservation of Historic Congressional Cemetery and owned by Christ Church + Washington Parish. The association is constantly striving to maintain the historic\, cultural\, and aesthetic qualities of this natural landscape along the Anacostia River. Hundreds of volunteers each year help preserve the cemetery and further its nonprofit mission \nThe Running Psychologists are members of Section I of APA Division 47 Society for Sport\, Exercise & Performance Psychology.
