Visiting the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC

The iconic memorial built to honor the 16th u.s. president is a must-see for every visitor to the nation’s capital..

Don't miss the  March on Washington on Aug. 26 , which will honor the 60th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I Have A Dream" speech given at the Lincoln Memorial.

Experiencing the Lincoln Memorial

The grand Lincoln Memorial towers over the Reflecting Pool, anchoring the western end of the National Mall . The best way to approach the memorial is from the east, by the Washington Monument and the National World War II Memorial . This will put you at the edge of the Reflecting Pool, a shimmering expanse which best illuminates the grand structures honoring our most storied leaders.

Take a stroll toward the memorial and watch as it gradually gets larger. When you stand directly in front, gaze at the handsome marble columns surrounded by greenery, part of a design inspired by ancient Greek temples. There are 36 columns, each one representing one state in the U.S. at the date of President Lincoln’s death. The memorial itself is 190 feet long and 119 feet wide, and reaches a height of almost 100 feet.

Climb the stairs leading to the interior, and look up. There, etched into the wall, is a memorable quote: "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever."

Below the quote sits a 19-foot tall, 175-ton statue of President Lincoln, himself looking out over the Mall of the country that he fought so hard to preserve and unite. The statue was designed by Daniel Chester French, who worked to depict Lincoln during the Civil War, stately and dignified. Interestingly, though the memorial was approved decades earlier, construction did not begin until 1914, and the memorial opened to the public in 1922.

@pearlrough

To the left of the statue is Lincoln’s great speech, the Gettysburg Address, one of the most famous in U.S. history. Every single word of the address is etched into the wall to inspire Americans just as it did in 1863. To the right is the entire Second Inaugural Address, given in March of 1865 — mere months before Lincoln’s death.

Lincoln Memorial hours and directions

The Lincoln Memorial is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Rangers are on duty from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The easiest way to reach the Memorial is by Metrorail or Metrobus . The nearest Metro stations are Foggy Bottom and Smithsonian, both on the Orange, Blue and Silver lines. If traveling by Metrobus, take the 32, 34 or 36 routes.  Capital Bikeshare also has a dock nearby, on Daniel French Drive SW.

Housing one of the nation’s largest collections of artifacts connected to Abraham Lincoln, the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum in Harrogate, Tennessee offers visitors an opportunity to connect with the sixteenth President of the United States. Located on the campus of Lincoln Memorial University, museum exhibits include many artifacts associated with Lincoln. One interesting item is the cane that Lincoln used during his visit to Ford's Theatre on the night of his assassination. The museum’s library contains a collection of about 30,000 books, pamphlets, photographs, and other written material. Instructional programs are offered to teachers and students.

This section of all is all that remains of a large limestone wall that was part of the pleasure gardens surrounding the Four Seasons Hotel in 1892. The hotel, part of the American Association development of Alexander Arthur, was built to cater to the world's rich and famous.

This stone monument was built on the Lincoln Memorial University campus as part of the college's efforts to commemorate the Lincoln Tercentenary, a 1937 celebration of the first member of the Lincoln family to arrive in the United States three centuries prior.

The LMU sign was constructed in 1925 by Charlie J. Smith, a contractor from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. Smith also was in charge of constructing the Spring House and the Amphitheater in the summers of 1936 and 1937, respectively.

The Lincoln Memorial University President's House was built in 1913, and was the gift of a donor. The pillars that now adorn the home were original to Norton Hall, a residence hall for girls that was built in 1912 and deconstructed in 1975.

Originally located in Tiprell, Tennessee, Lincoln Memorial University students moved the Spring House to the Lincoln Memorial University campus in the 1930s. A few years after moving the Spring House, LMU students once again moved stones from Tiprell to construct the adjacent amphitheater.

Kresge Hall began as Kresge Infirmary in 1950. Named after the Kresge Foundation of Detroit, the infirmary provided health care to the student population. Over the years, it has additionally served as university classrooms, offices, and as the home to Alumni Services.

As the university grew following the post-war period, a greater emphasis was placed on the need for proper science facilities on campus. The result was Farr-Chinnock Hall, which was completed in 1951. The building boasted modern scientific labs and new offices for the the LMU faculty. With its completion, students completed studies in the physical sciences, chemistry, and physics. Until the completion and dedication of the new Math and Science in 2012, most LMU students completed their science studies in this building. Today, it is the home of J. Frank White Academy.

Cartaino S. Paolo's "Lincoln the Lawyer" statue has looked out over campus since 1949. Dedicated at the 140th anniversary anniversary of the 16th President's birth, it drew a great deal of curiosity from beyond the region, as it was the first statue of Lincoln to be unveiled in the former Confederacy.

The original Carnegie Library was made possible by Andrew Carnegie, who put forward a twenty thousand dollar matching opportunity to Darwin R. James and O.O. Howard. Thirteen donors matched the offer, and in 1906 the library became the second building on campus to be constructed after the establishment of LMU (Avery Hall being the first).

During WWII, Gen. George S. Patton prepared the 2nd Armored Division at a facility at Camp Forrest Air Force Base in Tullahoma, Tennessee. After the war, the facility moved to Harrogate, where it became the Mary E. Mars Gymnasium. The buildings was named after the mother of Sam Mars, Sr., who led fundraising efforts for the project.

Democrat Hollow originally was the home to Lincoln Memorial University's staff and their families. One theory suggests that the area received its name because the majority of the families who lived there belonged to the Democratic Party. Today, the area is a picnic and High Adventure Area for the University.

Originally the Four Seasons Hotel's luxurious Sanatorium, Grant-Lee Hall took its name from the Civil War's two most famous generals: Ulysses S Grant and Robert E. Lee. Over the years, it has burned down on two locations, been rebuilt, served as both student and faculty housing, and now serves as administrative offices.

In 1920, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Hall was dedicated as a boys dormitory. The residence hall was a $25,000 gift of the Tennessee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Over the years, it served as a residence hall, university classrooms, and the home to J. Frank White Academy. Today, it houses numerous university offices.

Benjamin N. Duke, of tobacco, textile, and energy fame, donated the funds to build Duke Hall, which was completed in 1928. It has variously housed classrooms, the university's Lincoln collection, religious services, convocations, offices, and a performance center.

Built between 1902 and 1904 and located at the site of the grand but short-lived Four Seasons Hotel, Avery Hall became the first newly-constructed campus building of Lincoln Memorial University. The university was established in 1897 by former Union General Oliver Howard and Reverend Arthur A. Myers. Avery Hall included dormitories and a dining hall in addition to classrooms and the campus library. The building remains a central feature of the university campus.

LaFrentz-Poole hall was built in 1927. Throughout this time, it has continuously served as a residential building on Lincoln Memorial University's campus.

Built in 1941 from funds raised by the Nancy Hanks Club, Munson House was originally named the Muson Home Management House. It originally housed the campus's home economic department, but later served as a residential dorm and is now a sorority house.

The Conservatory Tower is the oldest structure on campus. Pre-dating the university, it was incorporated into Alexander Arthur's home, Craig Neuk. It's rooftop was taken off during the Cyclone of 1933.

Byram Hall has variously served as both faculty and student housing. Byram Hall it is currently the home of the Deltas.

Lincoln Memorial Guide

This post is a guide to visiting the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, including information on its architecture, symbolism, and myths.

I will also explain how you can tour the Lincoln Memorial, on your own, or with a group - maybe us, Free Tours by Foot .

As local walking tour guides, the Lincoln Memorial is like a second home to us. We are here every day!

We lead hundreds if not thousands of people each week into the memorial, and, the amazement in our guests' eyes when they see Lincoln for the first time, well, it never gets old.

Please use this post as a guide for your visit.

Below is a short and humorous 3-minute video, produced by one of our tour guides, summarizing what follows in this post.

Myths about the Lincoln Memorial

Plan your visit.

The Lincoln Memorial is free to visit open to the public all day and night with no tickets required.

Located at the far west end of the National Mall, it is next to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Korean War Veterans Memorial, and the Albert Einstein Memorial.

There is no Metro station on this end of the National Mall, but the Lincoln Memorial is only a 10-12 minute walk from Foggy Bottom/GWU Station.

There is no parking lot at the memorials but I am usually able to find street parking in area.

Because so many people want to know how to get to the Lincoln Memorial , we have a whole post all about parking, public transportation, and directions.

TOURS OF THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL

Guided tours.

The Lincoln Memorial is a stop on our National Mall Tour (as well as our National Mall & Tidal Basin and Memorials and Moonlight versions)

We also have a GPS-enabled audio tour of the National Mall, which includes a stop at the Lincoln Memorial.

I think our tours of the Lincoln Memorial are one of the best ways as we will give you both a guided tour of the memorial as well as free time to take photos. For our younger visitors, we always include a scavenger hunt type mission - usually to find the spelling error!

All guided bus tours go to the Lincoln Memorial.  

Several of the premium tour companies, such as USA Guided Tours , have a tour guide in addition to drivers, who will accompany you to the Lincoln Memorial for a guided walking tour.

Ranger Talks  

Park Rangers provide "interpretive programs" on the hour every hour from 10 a.m. until 11 p.m.  

The enjoyment factor depends greatly on who is giving the tour, as some rangers seem more interested than others, but they are usually all very informative. These talks are free.  

The National Park Service has posted some of these talks under " reflections " on their Lincoln Memorial Interactive site.

One of the ranger talks that I have especially enjoyed are the runs with a ranger offered on select dates!

Mobile Phone Tour  

The Park Service also offers a mobile phone tour of the memorial.  

Dial  (202) 747-3420 when you are at the memorial and enter the corresponding item number that you want to learn about.

The Park Service also offers a visitor's app for the National Mall for both Android and iPhone.

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL

If you're interested in knowing more about the symbolism and history of the memorial, I've written up a guide with information that I share when leading the National Mall Tour!

Dedicated to the 16th President of the United States, the Abraham Lincoln Memorial sits at the western end of the National Mall looking down towards the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol.

The memorial itself was designed by Architect Henry Bacon and the famed statue of Lincoln was sculpted by Daniel Chester French and the Piccirilli brothers.

There are many aspects of the memorial but a few main highlights that I like suggest as must-sees while visiting are:

• Gettysburg Address
• Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
• Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" Plaque
• Reflecting Pool
• Statue of Abraham Lincoln

EXTERIOR ARCHITECTURE:

The Memorial is marble structure based on a temple in Athens, Greece known as the Parthenon.

The perimeter has 36 Corinthian order columns, one for each of the thirty-six states that made up the United States when Lincoln died.

There are two rows of state names. The lower level contains 36 states (matching the columns).

Starting from the left is Delaware, the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Next is Pennsylvania (the second), and so on and so forth.  

Interspersed between each state on the lower level is a wreath of northern laurel on top of the southern pine.  

Despite laurel and pine being abundant in both the northern and southern states during the American Civil War, it would seem to be a subtle acknowledgment of the Union's victory over the Confederacy.

The upper row lists the 48 states of the United States of America in 1922, the year of the Memorial's dedication.  At this time, Alaska and Hawaii were not yet states but they are recognized with a plaque on the steps.

Just above this row, one can see eagles, and Roman victory tripods with garland festoons.  

On the plaza level, closest to the roadway, you will find a large bronze plaque commemorating Alaska and Hawaii becoming the 49th and 50th states of the union.

Most visitors to the memorial will go straight inside, totally oblivious to the features of the memorial hidden in plain sight.

However, these are actually important symbols.

They are Roman fasces, wooden rods tied together by leather, and the victory tripods found on both sides of the grand staircase. The first was a symbol of authority for Roman magistrates and was included to convey a similar executive authority of Lincoln.  

The fasces found on the exterior of the memorial have an American flair with 13 rods (13 colonies) and an American bald eagle atop the ax. The fasces are also a symbol of unity; the individual rods, like the states, are weak, but unified, they are strong.  

In fact, this symbol of the fasces is so important, that you will also see them inside on the walls and on the Lincoln statue itself.  

During World War II, fasces would be very controversial, as the fascist government of Italy would choose fasces for both their name and flag.  

The second is the victory tripods, an ancient Roman symbol of victory. These are adorned with Americana, tobacco, corn, and eagles.  

Learn more about the secret symbols of the Lincoln Memorial .

In the center of the last landing, before reaching the statue chamber, you will find an engraving "I Have a Dream."

The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, August 28, 1963. This marks the spot where Martin Luther King Jr delivered his famous speech.  

Be sure to check out the  Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial  on the Tidal Basin, a 10-minute walk from the Lincoln.

Constructing the Lincoln Memorial was truly a national effort and included items from many different states, combining to form the whole, just as Lincoln would have wanted.

STATUE AND INTERIOR:

One of the most recognizable statues in the world, this colossus statue of Lincoln will impress you.  

From the bottom of his feet to the top of his head, he measures 18 feet (5.5 m). If he were standing, he would stretch to 28 feet (8.5 m).  

Due to the enormity of the statue, Lincoln's head is approximately 20% larger in proportion to his feet, otherwise, the human eye would see a head that was too small for the body.

Lincoln sits in a curule chair, a chair in ancient Rome that symbolized power and authority and was reserved for a magistrate.

Old Glory, the 36-star American flag of the Civil War is draped around the back of the chair.

Now take a look at the ends of the chair. At first glance, these two identical carvings appear to be the bindings of books. However, they are the fasces that you may have noticed outside.

The difference here is that we are inside the memorial. As with the inside of Rome's walls, the ax is prohibited.

The sculptor, Daniel Chester French, wanted to convey the two main qualities of Lincoln that he felt were important, Lincoln's thoughtful and compassionate nature (emancipation) as well as his forceful nature (prosecuting the Great War). 

If you look away too fast, you might not notice that Lincoln is asymmetrical. Look closely and you will see that one side of Lincoln (your right) is tense while the other side is relaxed.

Take a look at his face, eyebrows, hands, and feet as well as his clothing. Notice the differences?

Behind him etched into the wall is a quote, "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever."

To Lincoln's right (contemplative and thoughtful) is his most enduring speech, the Gettysburg Address.

It was a short and poetic speech that recalled the ideals of representative government defined by the American Revolution and placed the preservation of these ideals as the cause of the Union in the Civil War while calling for a new birth of freedom.

Because the aim of the memorial was to celebrate the reunification of the northern and southern states over the emancipation of slaves, the symbols and images of the latter are secondary.

Click the image to enlarge.

Directly above the Gettysburg Address is the painting entitled Emancipation, painted by Jules Guerin.

According to the National Park Service ,  "Jules Guerin represents emancipation using allegorical images. At center, the Angel of Truth breaks the bonds of slavery. The seated figure to the left holds the sword of Justice and the scroll of Law. On the right sits Immortality attended by the standing figures of Faith, Hope, and Charity."

To Lincoln's left is his favorite speech, his second Inaugural Address . This is the speech he gave during the midst of the American Civil War when he was elected to the presidency for a second time.

The most famous line from this speech is "...charity towards all, malice towards none." This is also the speech that has a spelling error in it!

There are a lot of interesting stories about the Lincoln Memorial, only some of which are proven true. Here are some of the common ones we've heard on tours.

Is there a face on the back of Lincoln's Head?

It is true that Robert E. Lee lived in Arlington House, which is directly across the river from the Lincoln Memorial.

It is also true that if you stand at the right angle and look at the profile of Lincoln's statue, it does look like the profile of Robert E Lee looking back on his own home.

It is not true however that this was done on purpose. Lincoln just had wavy hair!

Are Lincoln's hands in an A and L for his initials in American Sign Language?

Lincoln's hands do form two different shapes that look like an A and a L.

Sculptor Daniel Chester French did have a son who was deaf; however, there is no indication that French designed Lincoln's hands to reflect these two letters of the ASL alphabet.

Rather, Lincoln's statue is meant to portray two sides of the same man - the determined side (the fist) and the compassionate side (the relaxed hand)

Is there a misspelled word on the Lincoln Memorial?

This one is TRUE! Kind of, it has been fixed but you can still see it if you know where to look.

Was the Lincoln Memorial damaged during WWII?

Another true one! There was an accidental firing of a weapon in Washington, DC that damaged some of the exterior of the memorial. Look at the upper right corner where the states are listed and you'll see a section that looks a little cleaner and newer than the rest.

Is Lincoln buried under the Lincoln Memorial?

Nope. There is a lot of dust, graffiti, and asbestos down there but no presidential remains. Lincoln is buried in Springfield, Illinois.

Tour Details

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.
