History[edit]

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]
Alice Glick has a booth at the Springfield Swap Meet where she is selling extremely value items for 5¢, including the United States Declaration of Independence, a copy of Action Comics #1, a complete block of 1918 Inverted Jenny stamps, and a Stradivarius violin. Homer saw the items, but did not buy them as he thought they were "junk".[3]
