There are some nights when the tourists are not even just FEWER but simply not there and you can have it to yourself for two hours. My very best experience in D.C. - EVER!

@LincolnToddFan - the paint is still visible??? That is so sad and I hope that they can clean it off one day!

Yes angela...I saw news video of President Obama at the Memorial a few months ago and unfortunately there were faint green stains still visible at the base of the statue of seated Lincoln. Due to the type of marble/stone used it is simply not possible to completely clean it off without damaging it further. I also hope that someday the Memorial can be restored to gleaming perfection.
