Summary: No other memorial within Washington D.C. carries as many tales of intrigue as the one dedicated to our nation's 16th president. From its original proposal after Lincoln's assassination in 1865, the memorial was already fraught with controversy. In this free preview of our National Mall audio walking tour we provide insight as to the construction of the Lincoln Memorial, the architects and sculptors involved in its construction, the memorial's significance related to World War II, the famous protests which have occurred here, the murals and spelling errors that surround the memorial, and the conspiracy theories surrounding the likeness of Lincoln. To download the free full-length (and nearly 4-hour!) MP3 audio walking tour of the National Mall, visit us at www.iwalkedaudiotours.com. This tour will also be inclusive within the soon to-be-released IWalked Audio Tours Washington D.C. iphone application on iTunes.
