The Memorial is a unit of National Mall and Memorial Parks. This world famous memorial stands prominently on the National Mall just northeast of the Lincoln Memorial.

Happy 269th birthday to Thomas Jefferson! Jefferson remains an essential figure in the consideration and study of the eras of the American Revolution, Early Republic, and National Expansion.
