#131 Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial was designed by Henry Bacon and the statue inside was sculpted by Daniel Chester French. Inside the memorial are inscriptions of two of Lincoln's most famous speeches, The Gettysburg Address and Lincoln's second Inaugural Address. Many famouse speeches and events, including Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech have happened on the memorial's steps.
