One of the greatest Presidents of the United States, Abraham Lincoln took office moments before the Civil War began and worked to reunite the United States. His foresight and leadership are still studied today. The Lincoln Memorial is inspiring. The building design is based on a Greek temple with 36 doric columns, each representing a state of the Union at the time of Lincoln’s death. Enjoy great views of the Capital from its lofty heights.
On the other side of the Lincoln Memorial is the Washington Monument.
