Officially opened in 1923, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is one of the most historically significant locations in Washington, D.C.
It is where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, and 100,000 anti-Vietnam War protesters gathered for the “March on the Pentagon” in 1967.
In April 2026, President Donald Trump announced a renovation project for the pool that ultimately cost $14.2 million.
