Lincoln Memorial History - The Lincoln Memorial occupies a prominent space on the National Mall in Washington, DC and is a tribute to President Abraham Lincoln, who fought to preserve our nation during the Civil War, from 1861-1865. The Lincoln Memorial has been the site of many famous speeches and events since its dedication in 1922.

Lincoln Memorial is a beautiful structure with seven-foot diameter columns that stretch 44 feet high, architect Henry Bacon designed the Lincoln Memorial in a style similar to a Greek temple. The structure’s 36 columns represent the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s death. A 19-foot larger than life-size marble statue of Lincoln sits in the center of the memorial and the words of the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural Address are inscribed on the walls.

    The Lincoln Memorial is one of the most popular attractions on the National Mall and parking is very limited in this area of Washington, DC. The best way to get to the Lincoln Memorial is on foot. The monument is often less crowded at night and is most impressive when it is illuminated.
