Designed by Alexandria, Virginia-based landscape architect Rhodeside and Harwell Incorporated, the George Mason National Memorial honors the Virginia patriot who authored the landmark Virginia Declaration of Rights in 1776 that served as a model for the American Bill of Rights.
The 100,000-square-foot site is situated in East Potomac Park between the Potomac River and the Tidal Basin, and near the base of the 14th Street Bridge, formally known as the George Mason Memorial Bridge.
Rhodeside and Harwell’s memorial setting is reflective of Mason’s love of gardens and recalls the site’s own history as a formal garden.
