Dedicated in 1922, this iconic structure stands as a symbol of unity and a testament to Lincoln's enduring legacy in preserving the nation during the tumultuous Civil War.

Inside the Memorial Chamber, visitors can marvel at the 19-foot-tall marble statue of a seated Abraham Lincoln, created by sculptor Daniel Chester French. Flanking the statue are inscriptions of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural Address, highlighting his commitment to equality and the abolition of slavery. Facing the Reflecting Pool and the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is a must-see for history enthusiasts and those seeking to understand the United States' rich cultural heritage. Managed by the National Park Service, the Lincoln Memorial is a popular destination for tourists and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As one of America's most revered landmarks, the Memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for the nation's unity and the fight for civil rights.
