Gracefully overlooking the Tidal Basin, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial honors the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third U.S. President. Designed in neoclassical style, its domed roof and iconic columns echo Jefferson’s admiration for Roman architecture—symbolizing democracy, balance, and reason.

Why Visit:

Stand before the 19-foot bronze statue of Jefferson surrounded by quotes on liberty and justice

Perfect spot for peaceful reflection with waterfront views

Visit during cherry blossom season for postcard-perfect scenery

One of the most photogenic stops on the National Mall loop


Did you know? The memorial’s walls are inscribed with Jefferson’s powerful words, including:
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

Whether you're a history enthusiast or a traveler seeking serenity, this memorial offers both inspiration and beauty.
