Мемориал Линкольна. расположен на Эспланаде в центре Вашингтона. Был построен в честь шестнадцатого президента США Авраама Линкольна. Его президентство пришлось на годы Гражданской войны (1861-1865). Мемориал, возводившийся в 1914-1922 годах, символизирует веру Линкольна в то, что все люди должны быть свободны. Композиционно здание символизирует Союз. По его периметру проходят 36 колонн - именно столько штатов объединилось к моменту смерти Линкольна. Названия 48 штатов (а именно столько их было к 1922 году - моменту завершения строительства мемориала) выбиты вдоль внешней стены здания. Табличка с названием двух последних присоединившихся штатов - Аляски и Гавайев - находится на подходах к мемориалу. В помещении мемориала находится статуя Линкольна: сидящий президент обращен лицом к мемориалу Вашингтона и Капитолию. Статуя Линкольна 19 футов (5.79 м.) в высоту и весит 175 тонн. В помещении также находятся две огромных каменных плиты: на одной выгравирован текст второго инаугурационного обращения Линкольна, а на другой - его Геттисбергская речь. Две настенные росписи аллегорически представляют принципы свободы, справедливости, единения, братства и благотворительности.

В учебнике по английскому языку у дочки было задание подготовить презентацию про один из штатов США. Дочка решила сделать презентацию про штат Вашингтон (не путать с городом — столицей Вашингтон). Готовую презентацию даже показали ученикам 8 класса.
