Kamaraj Memorial House is a humble yet historically significant museum located in Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, dedicated to K. Kamaraj, one of India's most respected political leaders and the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. This memorial was originally the home where Kamarajar was born and spent his early years. Today, it stands preserved as a tribute to his life, simplicity, and immense contribution to the Indian freedom struggle and post-independence governance. The house has been converted into a museum that showcases various personal belongings, photographs, documents, and books associated with Kamaraj. Visitors can see his cot, spectacles, clothes, letters, and rare photographs depicting his journey from a freedom fighter to a national leader. The displays also highlight his pivotal role in implementing the midday meal scheme, promoting education for all, and his tenure as the President of the Indian National Congress. The house, though modest in appearance, echoes Kamaraj's ideals of integrity, austerity, and service to the people. It serves as an educational spot, especially for students and political enthusiasts, who wish to learn about one of Tamil Nadu’s greatest leaders. The memorial is open to the public and is maintained by the Tamil Nadu government.
