The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is located in the Tidal Basin and is a tribute to the third President of the United States.   Jefferson's own appraisal of his life, and the one that he wrote for use on his own tombstone, is this: "Author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia."





Gram and Pops visited here many times, the most recently in April 2001.
