Photograph by David Coleman. The George Mason Memorial, located in Washington, DC's West Potomac Park, honors one of America's often-overlooked Founding Fathers. Dedicated in 2002, the memorial features a bronze statue of George Mason seated on a marble bench, surrounded by a circular garden and fountain. Mason, a Virginia statesman, is known for his significant contributions to the United States Constitution and his authorship of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which heavily influenced the U.S. Bill of Rights. The memorial's design reflects Mason's love of his home, Gunston Hall, with landscaping reminiscent of 18th-century gardens. The statue, created by sculptor Wendy M. Ross, depicts Mason in a thoughtful pose, holding a book and walking stick. Inscriptions on the memorial include quotes from Mason's writings, highlighting his ideas on individual liberty and government accountability.
