Lincoln Memorial

Posted on December 28, 2022December 28, 2022 by Guide

Welcome, fellow history buffs and lovers of all things Abraham Lincoln! Are you ready for a rollicking good time as we explore the majestic Lincoln Memorial?

First things first, let’s set the scene. You’ve just arrived in Washington D.C., the bustling capital of the United States. You’re feeling a bit peckish, so you decide to grab a quick bite to eat at the Lincoln Memorial Diner, known for its delicious sandwiches and creamy milkshakes. But as you’re munching on your “Honest Abe” burger, you can’t help but feel a sense of awe and reverence wash over you. After all, this is the very same spot where Lincoln himself used to chow down on his favorite meal of pork and beans.

As you finish your meal and head outside, you’re greeted by the sight of the majestic Lincoln Memorial towering above you. Standing at an impressive 180 feet tall, the monument is a tribute to the 16th President of the United States and his many contributions to the country.

You approach the grand staircase leading up to the memorial and are immediately struck by the larger-than-life statue of Lincoln himself, seated regally with a contemplative look on his face. His iconic top hat rests on the ground at his feet, as if he’s just taken it off to give his famous “Gettysburg Address.”

As you make your way around the memorial, you can’t help but marvel at the ornate details and intricate carvings that adorn the walls and columns. The 36 Doric columns represent the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s death, and the inscriptions on the walls feature some of his most memorable quotes, including the iconic “With malice toward none, with charity for all.”

But it’s not all serious business at the Lincoln Memorial. In fact, it’s rumored that Lincoln himself was quite the jokester, known for cracking wise and making his friends and colleagues laugh. So don’t be surprised if you find yourself chuckling at some of the more lighthearted inscriptions and engravings scattered throughout the monument.

For example, have you ever noticed the tiny carving of a mouse hidden among the folds of Lincoln’s robe? Legend has it that this was a nod to Lincoln’s love of telling stories about clever mice outwitting their enemies. Or what about the inscription on the back of Lincoln’s chair that reads “In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever”? Sounds pretty serious, right? Well, it turns out that this quote was actually inspired by a popular vaudeville song of the time, “The Memory of Abraham Lincoln Will Live Forever in the Hearts of the People.”

So don’t be afraid to let your hair down and have a little fun as you explore the Lincoln Memorial. After all, even the Great Emancipator himself knew how to have a good time. So, take a moment to snap a selfie with Lincoln, or strike a pose in front of one of the many Instagram-worthy spots throughout the memorial. And be sure to tag us using the hashtag #LincolnMemorialSelfie for a chance to be featured on our social media pages!

But seriously, the Lincoln Memorial is a truly awe-inspiring and educational experience, and we hope you’ll take the time to appreciate the rich history and significance of this iconic monument. Thank you for joining us on this humorous journey through the Lincoln Memorial, and we hope to see you again soon!
