The Adams Memorial is a proposed United States presidential memorial to honor the 2nd President John Adams, his wife and prolific writer, Abigail Adams, their son, the 6th President, John Quincy Adams, and his wife, Louisa Catherine Adams and other members of the Adams family, including John Q. and Louisa's son Charles Francis Adams, Sr., civil war diplomat, politician, and editor; and his sons Henry Adams (noted historian, autobiographer) and Brooks Adams (academic).
On November 5, 2001, the United States Congress created the Adams Memorial Foundation under Pub.L. 107–62. The foundation is authorized to construct a memorial on federal land in Washington, D.C., at no expense to the government. Once established the memorial would presumably fall under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.
