The Jefferson Memorial was dedicated 75 years ago today, on his 200th birthday.

Thomas Jefferson is the only President whose birthday can fall on Friday the 13th.

Interesting that Three of the first five U.S. presidents died on July 4. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died in 1826, the 50th anniversary of the country’s birth. Adams’ last words were “Thomas Jefferson still survives.” James Monroe, the fifth president, died five years later in 1831
