The George Mason Memorial, dedicated on April 9, 2002, honors the little known but widely felt contributions of an important founding father, George Mason. Born in 1725, George Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights and later attended the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The memorial is located in West Potomac Park near the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and the FDR Memorial.
