Why would you want to visit the Lincoln memorial?

Answer 1

Other than to memorialize Lincoln, I can't think of any reason.

In addition to that, go downstairs to the small museum, and learn about building the memorial. It was made with Marble from Colorado. The Memorial has also been the site of many famous political events. Go stand at the top of the steps, find the marker, and stand where Dr. Martin Luther King stood when he made the "I Have a Dream" speech. Standing at the top of the steps is also a great spot to take photos of the mall, the reflecting pool, Washington Monument, and the Capitol. Then walk over to the side and visit the Vietnam and Korean War memorials.
