History
Bart has imagined that he saw when the declaration of independence was made.[1]
After her question to Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial was drowned out by a crowd, Lisa came here to ask Thomas Jefferson her question instead. Lisa then imagines Jefferson talking to her, but he berates her because the only reason she came there in the first place was because the Lincoln Memorial was too crowded. He also states that no one comes to see him, despite his accomplishments like the Declaration of Independence, the Louisiana Purchase, and the dumbwaiter. Lisa then leaves, and Jefferson asks her to come back, stating that he gets so lonely[2]
