The Jefferson Memorial provides a view that is second to none. I love to stand and look at the water. A beautiful monument dedicated to a even greater man. Take the time to visit and you will agree.

Be sure to go to the lower level where exhibits are located. There were many interesting facts about Jefferson's life and his involvement with starting UVA.

Don't put this off until the end of the day; you'll be too tired to make the hike from the parking lot to the monument.

We walked from the Lincoln Memorial around the Tidal Basin to see the Jefferson Memorial - almost as impressive as the Lincoln Memorial

What a beautiful place. And even though it is on the 'tourist route' - it still has a feeling of calm. It is really beautiful, and has some amazing views.

This is my favorite Memorial in DC. It's on the basin, so it's a very pretty location. It's basically like Lincoln's, but round, and Jefferson is standing. You can see in different directions from the interior of the building. It's also much more serene than Lincoln. A peaceful place to reflect on the founding fathers.
