The Lincoln Memorial honoring the nation's 16th president -- Abraham Lincoln -- welcomes visitors coming into Washington, D.C. on the Memorial Bridge.  The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in 1922 and  anchors the west end of the National Mall.

At the center of the memorial which is open 24 hours a day, sits the notable 19-foot statue of President Lincoln on a 10- foot tall pedestal made from Tennessee marble.

The memorial site may be most famous for being the site of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.
