Lincoln Memorial

"The Lincoln Memorial sits at the very edge of the National Mall. From here you have a great view of the Capitol Building and the rest of the Mall. It's a great place for pictures!  A few things to look for while you're here:  - Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have A Dream" speech here and there is an inscription that marks the spot at the top of the Lincoln Memorial - The freize at the top is inscribed with the name of 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln's death and the dates in which they entered the union.  - The Inscriptions inside are from Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address and his Gettysburg Address, respectively. If you're eagle-eyed you can find the typo on the north interior wall. "

"The Lincoln Memorial is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Washington, DC, and is dedicated to the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is an impressive monument that features a large statue of Lincoln sitting on a throne, surrounded by inscriptions of his most famous speeches. The Memorial is located on the western end of the National Mall and offers stunning views of the reflecting pool and Washington Monument. The best time to visit is during the early morning or late evening when there are fewer crowds. While you are in the area, you can also check out other nearby attractions like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Korean War Veterans Memorial."

"This monument has stood tall through many pieces of America’s history, but one of the most famous is the day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood on its steps and gave his “I Have a Dream” speech to more than a quarter million people who were marching on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Marian Anderson also was there that day, singing the national anthem."
