The Adams Memorial is a proposed United States presidential memorial to honor Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams as well as Abigail Adams and other members of the Adams family.
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.
