The George Washington Masonic National Memorial is an enormous, magnificent memorial to President George Washington. The Memorial is a museum, a library, a research center, a concert hall, and a community center.
Freemasons constructed the memorial at the beginning of the 20th century to resemble the ancient Egyptian Alexandria lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Some of the exhibited art and artifacts include an enormous, 17-feet tall statue of George Washington at the entrance to the memorial, a huge bas-relief donated by Kodak, and many portraits and busts of the legendary president and venerated Freemason.
You can get a spectacular view of Alexandria from the Memorial’s observation deck. The edifice is a National Historic Landmark.
