I have been there so many times, but each time I feel the need to sit down and read both speeches - this time I was able to read them to my seven year old and even he could understand the importance of the words. Truly a not to miss attraction if you are in DC. more

Takes my breath away everytime I see it. I must admit. Nightime is better than the daytime. more

Honestly, it's almost hard to be superlative enough about the Lincoln Memorial, especially after so many have reviewed it so accurately already.

One thing that surprised us is that there is not direct public transportation to the Memorial on weekends. We happened to go on the... more

One of the many monuments on the Mall, but easily one of the most inspiring. Take the time to reflect here on just how important Lincoln was to the course of our country's history, and how tragic it was for his life to be cut short. For the best lighting of Lincoln inside the monument for picture taking, try earlier... more
