杰佛逊纪念堂

这个可爱、庄严的纪念馆纪念着美国的第三任总统,当然也描述了他比生命高贵的性格。这里漂亮,让人感动而且绝对是你在华盛顿一定要看的地方之一。

去杰斐逊纪念堂(Jefferson Memorial)需要步行一段,离华盛顿的一些主要景点有点儿远,不过我觉得走走花时间去游览真的很值。这种地方需要你亲自参观才能明白这是有多么奇妙!

华盛顿有很多纪念堂。杰斐逊纪念堂(Jefferson Memorial)又是一个经典之作。你甚至从外面就可以欣赏到其美丽。杰斐逊总统的雕像非常地棒。

就像是其他镇上所有的纪念馆一样,这里很不错,可以呆上一天。我很喜欢在清晨或晚上看着那些出城的客人,实在太特别了。

如果你非常有幸来到华盛顿那么你一定不要错过这的鲜花盛开,这的美景绝对震撼死你。我们来到杰弗逊纪念堂。非常赞。不过这里距离大堂还有一段距离。你可以慢慢悠悠地散步溜达回来。

夕阳照射下的杰佛逊纪念堂Thomas Jefferson Memorial，为纪念美国第三任总统托马斯?杰弗逊而建，1938年在罗斯福主持下开工，至1943年落成。纪念馆按杰斐逊喜爱的罗马万神殿式圆顶建筑风格设计，是一座高96英尺的白色大理石建筑。杰弗逊雕像

如果是步行前往，或许需要花点脚程，但是绝对是值得一行的景点。不仅仅是在Memorial上眺望很美，沿路的景观也会令人忘却路程。我觉得最美的华盛顿纪念碑应该是从这路上照!!!

One of my favorite monuments in Washington DC is the Jefferson Monument. The building is a real tribute to one of the most important founding fathers of our country. It's a beautiful, marble building located next to a tidal basin so it has a dramatic sweep to it off the water and is awesome when viewed up close. The museum shop and historical displays and descriptions are wonderfully done. Not to be missed when visiting Washington DC.

Another place that simply makes you proud to be American. Take your kids, it will make their lives better

It's only about a twenty minute walk, maybe even fifteen with a brisk pace, to walk from the National Mall near the Washington Monument to get to Jefferson Memorial. After visiting the Lincoln Memorial we figured this would be anti-climatic and yet the Jefferson Memorial has an exceptional grandeur all of its own, and here again, as with the Lincoln Memorial, it is worth visiting after sunset. Also make sure to visit the exhibit under the monument and watch the short video on Jefferson. The crowds here are far smaller than at the Lincoln Memorial and you may be able to enjoy the entire monument for a few minutes by yourself. We had that opportunity and those few minutes were truly remarkable.

Located on the southeast shore of the Tidal Basin, directly opposite the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial is a bit out of the way, but well worth the walk to visit. The nearest Metro station is that at the Smithsonian, about one mile away, so it’s a 20-minute walk.The building’s neoclassical design, the work of John Russell Pope, was influenced not only by the Roman Pantheon but by the rotunda of the University of Virginia, which Jefferson himself designed. There are 26 columns in the building, which represent the number of states in the Union at the time of Jefferson’s death.As at the Lincoln Memorial, the marble steps leading inside are slippery when wet, so be careful! Once at the top, you’ll get a nice view of the Tidal Basin and the Washington Monument almost due north.The memorial’s focal point is a 19-foot bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson standing under a coffered ceiling modeled after that of the Pantheon. The statue was originally cast in plaster, but was replaced by one in bronze after World War II metal rationing ended. Inscriptions that quote Jefferson’s writings adorn the surrounding walls, the most famous of which is from the Declaration of Independence.Overall, the Jefferson Memorial is a beautiful and fitting tribute to one of America’s most important Founding Fathers.

Massive monument. I was so excited to finally get to view this Washinton Momunent. Walked thru ice and rain to see this one. Don't miss it.

great views form the top of the steps. well designed.There is a lift but it wasn't working the day we went

The Jefferson Memorial is one of the older monuments and it is beautiful in its location and design. However it has been years since I actually visited on foot as it is so isolated from most of the other monuments and DC attractions. The tidal basin is wonderful and I am glad to see other monuments are now on it. However the last view times I have been to DC all I have are pictures from a distance.

If you see nothing else in Washington DC it should be this. It is a stunning monument -- elegant and graceful and situated beautifully along the reflective waters of the Potomac. It is breathtaking all year long, but moreso when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, for then they frame the monument with their pink and white blossoms.
