From Freepedia
Thaddeus Kosciuszko National Memorial is a unit of the National Park Service at 301 Pine Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is administered by Independence National Historical Park.
The life and work of Tadeusz Kościuszko, Polish patriot and hero of the American Revolution, are commemorated here.
Authorized October 21, 1972. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1970. (Acreage — 0.02, all federal)
The memorial is often referred to as the smallest "National Park" (or unit of the National Park Service). However, Benjamin Franklin National Memorial is only a statue, although that memorial is designated an "affiliated area" rather than a "unit."
