SITUATED ON THE BEAUTIFUL KENWOOD CAMPUS, the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies supports a global network of Thomas Jefferson scholars. Kenwood campus is comprised of the Jefferson Library and Kenwood.
The Jefferson Library, the first free-standing library dedicated to the study of a Founder, combines the power of place with the power of ideas. Built to complement the historic Kenwood house, the 15,500-square-foot library features a contemporary reading room with a two-story semicircular bay window.
