George Washington Masonic National Memorial
Alexandria, VA
If George Washington was your favorite president, you are probably already very familiar with his towering memorial. Definitely the forgotten step son of the Washington DC memorial scene, Georges honorary building stands atop a slight hill in Alexandria. I didn't get a chance to go inside so I can't tell you what happens inside this structure. I tried to google search it but got bored before I found the answer. But in my brief online search I did read that a small part of the 2nd National Treasure movie was filmed here and that Dan Brown briefly mentioned this memorial in his "The Lost Symbol" book. So if vague pop culture references are your thing, this memorial may be something worse visiting.
