Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

The Adams Memorial-Great American Heroes Act

This bill extends through 2032 the Adams Memorial Commission, whose purpose is to establish a permanent memorial in Washington, DC, to honor John Adams and his legacy.

The bill specifies that the Adams Memorial shall be located within the area specified by the Adams Memorial Commission in a February 25, 2025 map (i.e., south of the White House, adjacent to Ellipse Road and near Pennsylvania Avenue and 15th Street, Northwest).

If the Commission determines that this location is not suitable or feasible due to physical or security constraints, the bill requires that the memorial be located in the Reserve, an area which generally extends from the United States Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, and from the White House to the Jefferson Memorial.
