Known formemorialtidal basinfree24 hours
A domed, Pantheon-inspired rotunda on the Tidal Basin honoring the third president, with a bronze Jefferson statue ringed by his own writings. It is a bit removed from the main Mall cluster, best reached on a walk around the Tidal Basin, and spectacular when the cherry blossoms bloom. Open 24 hours and free, with fine sunset views back toward the city.
