said to be in storage. A 2009 National Park Service publication states that it was discovered in a National Park Service warehouse in 1992 and moved to its present site. However, in 1996, a local alternative newspaper, The Washington City Paper, reported that the urn had recently been found by the Park Service abandoned in Rock Creek Park "lying on its side". The newspaper later reported that the urn was placed in East Potomac Park in 1998 following repair work that cost $11,000. In 2007, the urn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been called one of the "10 monuments you’ve probably never heard of" in the Washington, D.C., region. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington, D.C.
