Lincoln Memorial
Construction for the Lincoln Memorial began on February 12, 1914, and was dedicated by President Warren G. Harding on May 30, 1922.
One of the most impressive sights in Washington is this memorial to our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.
The giant seated figure of Lincoln overlooks the Reflecting Pool toward the Washington Monument and the Capitol. It looks distinctively dramatic in the night lighting.
Memorial walls are inscribed with passages from the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln's second Inaugural Address.
There are park rangers available from 8:00 am to 12 midnight daily, except Christmas Day. For more information on ranger programs, call (202) 426-6895.
