"Lincoln Memorial commemorates Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, who played an essential role in developing American and global history. The Lincoln Memorial is in the form of a Greek Doric temple. This magnificent memorial provides guided tours and rangers to answer questions about the 16th U.S. President. The memorial has a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln, including the Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address. The National World War II Monument is the perfect way to view the museum. This place is the city's most-visited museum, with six million visitors coming to see it each year. The memorial provides inspiring virtual experiences related to the Lincoln Memorial, including immersive spherical panoramas and stories. The memorial has become the site of some of the most essential social protests in the country, perhaps most notably Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Lincoln Memorial offers free admission for all visitors.
