My favorite monument in all of Washington DC. With the reflection pool right there, you can feel the history and just take it all in. Get there at reasonable time or there will be crowds of folks there

You can do both in a day if you are extremely ambitious and without little children. But it should be split it into two days to really take in these two museums. There's a lot to see and a lot of info on history of flight, aeronautics, space, wars, commercial aviation and countries in addition to the USA.

What is the lincoln memorial

BLACK DEATH | Sep 25, 2020
Jason Cheung | Sep 25, 2020

The Lincoln Memorial is an American national memorial built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument. The architect was Henry Bacon; the designer of the primary statue – Abraham Lincoln, 1920 – was Daniel Chester French; the Lincoln statue was carved by the Piccirilli Brothers;[2] and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin. Dedicated in May 1922, it is one of several memorials built to honor an American president. It has always been a major tourist attraction and since the 1930s has been a symbolic center focused on race relations.

Jennifer Watson | Sep 26, 2019

The Lincoln Memorial was built in 1922 to heal national divisions caused by the Civil War.  Yet for many, Lincoln’s promise of freedom remained incomplete.  Over the next half century, the looming figure of Abraham Lincoln witnessed a number of events and demonstrations that reinforced the memorial’s importance as a symbolic space for civil rights movements.
