Today's Moment to Remember
What American Symbol Am I?
What American Symbol Am I?
-More than 6M people, that’s equal to the population of Missouri, visit me on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. each year.
-The marble stone used to build my memorial building was from Colorado
-My statue sits 19 feet tall - nearly twice the height of a basketball hoop

Yes, I’m the Lincoln Memorial.
I was built from 1915 to 1922 to honor our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. And, no, Lincoln is not actually buried here at the Lincoln Memorial. His body lies within his family's gravesite - a beautiful monument built at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, IL (see below).
Since this is the week Lincoln was shot and died, we thought it would be appropriate to test your memorial knowledge ;)
