Jefferson Memorial - The Jefferson Memorial was opened in 1943 on the 200th birthday of Thomas Jefferson, architect, musician, book collector, scientist, diplomat, horticulturist, inventor, educator, and our 3rd president. All in all, he was a real "smart man". In fact, President Kennedy once told a gathering of Nobel Prize winners that this was the greatest assemblage of talent at the White House since Thomas Jefferson ate alone. The Jefferson Memorial is a picturesque landmark that sits overlooks the Tidal Basin . . . note the striking similarity between the arc of the Corndog and the dome of the Jefferson Memorial.
