The Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., does not serve as a burial site for any famous individuals. It is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and a Founding Father, and features a statue of him, but he is actually buried at Monticello, his plantation in Virginia. The memorial is primarily a tribute to Jefferson's contributions to American democracy and ideals rather than a burial site for notable figures.
Yes. The title of the monument is the "Jefferson Memorial" as a result, memorial is capitalized.
The monuments in Washington, D.C., were built in a generally chronological order, starting with the Washington Monument, which was completed in 1884. Next, the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in 1922, followed by the Jefferson Memorial, which was completed in 1943. The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was the most recent, dedicated in 2011.
