May 10, 1922

In the 1910s, a call was put forth for a design for a monument to honor one of the greatest Americans in History: Abraham Lincoln.

Many proposals were submitted...

 

 

 

 

The first stone was laid in 1915. And on May 20, 1922, the Monument we all know was dedicated. About 50,000 attended the ceremony, and nearly 2 million listened on the radio.
