(2) The iconic Lincoln Memorial is a U.S. na-
tional memorial built in the style of a neoclassical 
temple in honor of the 16th President of the United 
States. Designed by Henry Bacon and sited on the 
western end of the National Mall across from the 
Washington Monument, the memorial contains a 
grand seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and in-
cludes inscriptions of passages from the Gettysburg 
Address and Lincoln’s second inaugural address. 
(3) The most visited monument on the National 
Mall, the Lincoln Memorial provides visitors with a 
grand view of the Mall and meaningful and inspiring 
way to experience President Lincoln and his legacy. 
It has been the site of many important historical 
events, including Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘‘I Have 
a Dream’’ speech, delivered on August 28, 1963, 
during the March on Washington for Jobs and Free-
dom. 
(4) Congress has invested significant funding to 
repair and restore the Lincoln Memorial over the 
years. The purpose of this Act is to build a long- 
term maintenance fund for future repairs and main-
tenance to augment the National Park Service budg-
et and further protect and build upon Congress’s ini-
tial investment in the memorial.

thropic partner of the National Mall and Memorial 
Parks division of the National Park Service dedi-

toration, and enrichment of the National Mall. The 
Trust will provide management of the maintenance 
fund in collaboration with the National Park Serv-
ice. 
(6) The Trust for the National Mall wants to 
honor the contributions of Abraham Lincoln to our 
great Nation. The Trust will promote and encourage

generations to come.
