The National Mall: Three Great Presidential Monuments!!!

The National Mall is one of the most historic areas of Washington D.C. It was also a place that was recommended to me by post-it note. It is large area of Washington D.C. that offers some disinguished memorial, monuments and buildings. Here are three great memorials to check out when visiting The National Mall that are tributes to former United States Preidents.

The first sits right in the center and historians believe in theory that it illustrates George Washington still watching over the city. The Washington Monument is 555 feet in height and from the base you can have a great view of the entire National Mall. You can purchase tickets in advance for free or day of to take the elevator to the top. On top there are spectacular views of The Nations Capitol

Thomas Jefferson was America's author of the Declaration of Independence, America's 3rd U.S. President, and supporter of the colonists during the American Revolution. Today you can reflect on his memory at the Jefferson Memorial. The memorial sits just East of the Washington Monument and has amazing views of the his Statue, Potomac River, and The Mall. It's about a fifteen-minute minute walk from the Washington Monument.

Lincoln was the President before and during the American Civil War. Abraham Lincoɔn is still believed to still watching over the Nations Capitol Building. Lincoln Memorial sits across the from the U.S. Capitol to the South. Once climbing to the top of stairs you can look at the large statue of Lincoln, see his speeches on The Gettysburg Address, and spectacular views of the The National Mall. The memorial is about a fifteen-minute walk to the Washington Monument.

All three Presidents played a significant roll in American history. Their memorials are a reflection of their leadership to The United States. The memorials are open to the public seven days a week. Definitely add these three when visiting Washington D.C. #ridingwithkurt #post #washingtonmemorial #jeffersonmemorial #lincolnmemorial
