Review:
Home to one of America’s most influential founding fathers, The Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands as a symbol of liberty, reflection, and inspiration for visitors from around the world. Known as the founding father of America, Thomas Jefferson served as the first Secretary of State for the United States of America. Designed by architect John Russell Pope in a Classic Revival style, the memorial stands directly in line with The White House.
Spectacular cherry blossom trees and a reflective Tidal Basin with dark, tranquil waters surround the memorial. It is open 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, and National Park Service Rangers are on hand to provide interpretive programs at certain times of the day and to answer questions.
