Cool Facts about the Lincoln Memorial

One of the most famous monuments in the US is the Lincoln Memorial. The building's theme represents the union, so there are 36 columns to represent the 36 Union states that existed at the time. The Reflecting Pool was added in 1922. The memorial was initially only supposed to be 10 feet in height. In the end, it was 19 feet high and weighs nearly 175 tons!
