The John Hanson National Memorial in Frederick, MD is a significant tribute to America's first president, John Hanson, and is the only place, apart from his statue in the United States Capitol's National Statuary Hall, where Americans can honor him.
Donated to the government of Frederick County, Maryland, and the American people by the John Hanson Memorial Association in 2012, this memorial is located adjacent to the historic John Hanson House and features a lead inscription by United States Senator Benjamin Cardin. The memorial was funded through a combination of a State of Maryland bond bill grant and generous donations from individuals, foundations, corporations, and civic groups, and was skillfully designed and sculpted by the renowned artist Antonio Tobias Mendez.
