The Jefferson Memorial is a stunning memorial complex dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and one of the nation’s Founding Fathers. It is located in West Potomac Park, on the banks of the artificial Tidal Basin of the Potomac River, just south of the White House and in the southern section of the National Mall, at the heart of Washington, D.C.
