Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C.

This was one of the more memorable monuments on the Washington Mall. Inside of the dome stands a statue of President Jefferson and he faces the White House in order to keep a protective eye on it. He was one of the primary writers of the Declaration of Independence and the third president.

Representing America in France

(University of Virginia, Miller Center) "For four years, beginning in 1785, Jefferson served as America's minister to France, a position equivalent to today's ambassador. In this post, he negotiated commercial treaties and closely observed the disorderly events leading up to the French Revolution."
