Jefferson Pier Stone reviews
7The Jefferson Pier Stone is a small stone monument on the west side of the Washington Monument. It is a small stone block only about 2 feet high set in the middle of the grassy field. It is bery easy to miss. It marks the prime Meridian used to layout the city of Washington DC when it was 1st conceived.
Beautiful place, always a lot of people, admiring glances and pleasant smiles️
the only thing in the evening there are a lot of insects near the water and nearby, be prepared
Hi! Like this for good luck! Been there at the memorial! Was a cool place to visit liked it! You can come to Washington dc maybe when the pandemic is better.or you could go here this year but pls wear a mask! IDK how many people are here now though probably a bunch! Was here when I was 7 or 8 I think and that was 3-4 years ago. So ya. Beautiful nice place. Nice to see the memorial. Although honest my because I was a kid (still am but almost 12) I got tired of all the walking! Cause I get tired VERY EASILY! So ya stayed at a nice hotel nearby IDK what it was called but had lots of fun and took off from school. Not my favorite place but it was definitely an adventure!
On holiday from South Africa and had the privilege of being in Washington DC on 4 July.
This was the Capitals parade for the Stanley Cup win. Had a blast and they did a great job for the fans.
Often, tourists and locals alike are distracted by the bigger name memorials and monuments like the Lincoln Memorial or the Washington Monument. However, Washington, D. C.is sprinkled with small markers and memorials significant to the country's history. A small stone behind the Washington Monument on the Lincoln Memorial side proves the point. Easy to overlook, the stone marks Thomas Jefferson's navigational meridian, which was never official though Congress did consider it. Now it's a random historical marker many people walk by without noticing. For me, it's another thing I love about my city.
