Jefferson Memorial

The Thomas Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington, D.C. that is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, an American Founding Father and the third president of the United States.

After the Great War, the memorial and its museum came to house Project Purity. A research project with the goal of purifying all freshwater in the Capital Wasteland. The Jefferson memorial was well suited for this purpose not only because the structure was largely intact but also because it is situated in the middle of the wasteland floodplain.

The statue of Thomas Jefferson can be seen in pristine condition submerged within Project purity as it is activated.

It also appears that one of the rooms in the basement section may be where your character is born.
