The National Park Service memorial to Abraham Lincoln at the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The Lincoln Memorial is a National Park Service memorial to Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, at the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C.; NPS gives its address as 1100 Ohio Drive SW. The NPS page, read on 3 October 2026, says the memorial chamber and exterior are free and open to the public, and that tickets are required only for the Undercroft experience. The page read did not give opening hours, so none are stated here.
