Since its dedication in 1922, the Lincoln Memorial has welcomed thousands of visitors to reflect and honor one of our nation's greatest presidents.
The memorial is an open-ended experience, and guests may stay as long as they like.
Pets are not allowed inside the chamber, and must remain below the white marble steps.
Nearby major intersections includ 23rd Street & Constitution Ave. NW and 23rd Street & Independence Ave. SW
Via Metro: From Foggy Bottom Metro, head south along 23rd Street until you reach the memorial. From Smithsonian Metro, proceed west past the Washington Monument and the Reflecting Pool.
Nighttime is an especially interesting time to visit as the lighting highlights the memorial's features. Visit around dawn to see the chamber with the most direct sunlight. The memorial tends to be most crowded at midday.
Elevator access to the chamber level: enter the museum area on the ground floor. The elevator is in the rear of the museum.
