United States

The United States Capitol Building is located in Washington, D.C., at the eastern end of the National Mall on a plateau 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River, commanding a westward view across the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool to the Washington Monument 1.4 miles away and the Lincoln Memorial 2.2 miles away. At the U.S. Capitol the Senate and the House of Representatives come together to discuss, debate and deliberate national policy; develop consensus; and craft the country's laws. As the nation has grown so has the U.S. Capitol: today it covers well over 1.5 million square feet, has over 600 rooms, and miles of corridors. It is crowned by a magnificent white dome that overlooks the city of Washington and has become a widely recognized icon of the American people and government. The U.S. Capitol's design was selected by President George Washington in 1793 and construction began shortly thereafter.

White House

The White House is where the President and First Family of the United States live and work — but it’s also the People’s House, where we hope all Americans feel a sense of inclusion and belonging.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is part of National Mall and Memorial Parks. The memorial is located at the intersection of Independence Avenue and West Basin Drive SW in Washington, DC, near the Tidal Basin and other iconic memorials along the National Mall.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

A revolutionary presidential memorial that opened in 1997, the FDR Memorial was not a monolithic, white marble structure, but a flowing landscape architecture design. The memorial is designed as a timeline best experienced by starting at the northernmost end of the memorial. Bronze sculptures by several artists depict the longest-serving president and the major issues he dealt with during his presidency including the Great Depression, the New Deal, and World War II. This entry is an overview of the entire memorial with specific attention to the "Prologue" room. For more specific information about each "room" in the memorial, see the following records: FDR 1st Term FDR 2nd Term FDR 3rd Term FDR 4th Term

Lincoln Memorial

Lincoln Memorial, stately monument in Washington, D.C., honouring Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, and “the virtues of tolerance, honesty, and constancy in the human spirit.” Designed by Henry Bacon on a plan similar to that of the Parthenon in Athens, the structure was constructed on reclaimed marshland along the banks of the Potomac River. The site selection caused controversy; the speaker of the House of Representatives, Joseph Cannon, favoured a more prominent spot across the Potomac, maintaining: “I’ll never let a memorial to Abraham Lincoln be erected in that g– damned swamp.” The cornerstone was set in 1915, and the completed memorial was dedicated before more than 50,000 people on May 30, 1922. Lincoln’s only surviving son, Robert Todd Lincoln, attended the ceremony.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands as a symbol of America’s honor and recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Inscribed on the black granite walls are the names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing. The Memorial is dedicated to honor the courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty and country of all who answered the call to serve during one of the most divisive wars in U.S. history.

Korean War Veterans Memorial

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is located in Washington, D.C.'s West Potomac Park, southeast of the Lincoln Memorial and just south of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. It memorializes those who served in the Korean War.

National Mall

Drive through the national mall and view over a hundred of sites along the way There’s nothing like arriving on the National Mall for the very first time. Seeing the Washington Monument rise majestically to the sky, surrounded by the stately U.S. Capitol Building at one end and the dignified Lincoln Memorial at the other, it’s hard not to think of America’s history. Explore the swath of land nicknamed “America’s front yard” and you’ll find inspiring monuments and memorials, museums and family fun. The monuments and memorials in this park honor American forefathers and heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to this country. From the “I Have a Dream” speech to the AIDS Quilt, the Mall is the national stage where movements and celebrations take place, where people gather to have their voices heard. READ

États-Unis

Le bâtiment du Capitole des États-Unis est situé à Washington, D.C., à l'extrémité est du National Mall sur un plateau à 88 pieds au-dessus du niveau de la rivière Potomac, offrant une vue vers l'ouest à travers la piscine réfléchissante du Capitole des États-Unis jusqu'au Washington Monument à 1,4 miles. et le Lincoln Memorial à 3,5 km. Au Capitole des États-Unis, le Sénat et la Chambre des représentants se réunissent pour discuter, débattre et délibérer de la politique nationale ; développer un consensus; et élaborer les lois du pays. Au fur et à mesure que la nation s'est développée, le Capitole des États-Unis s'est agrandi : aujourd'hui, il couvre bien plus de 1,5 million de pieds carrés, compte plus de 600 chambres et des kilomètres de couloirs. Il est couronné par un magnifique dôme blanc qui surplombe la ville de Washington et est devenu une icône largement reconnue du peuple et du gouvernement américains. La conception du Capitole des États-Unis a été choisie par le président George Washington en 1793 et la construction a commencé peu de temps après.

maison Blanche

La Maison Blanche est l'endroit où vivent et travaillent le président et la première famille des États-Unis, mais c'est aussi la Maison du peuple, où nous espérons que tous les Américains ressentent un sentiment d'inclusion et d'appartenance.

Mémorial Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Mémorial présidentiel révolutionnaire ouvert en 1997, le FDR Memorial n'était pas une structure monolithique en marbre blanc, mais une architecture paysagère fluide. Le mémorial est conçu comme une chronologie mieux vécue en commençant à l'extrémité nord du mémorial. Des sculptures en bronze de plusieurs artistes représentent le président le plus ancien et les principaux problèmes auxquels il a été confronté pendant sa présidence, notamment la Grande Dépression, le New Deal et la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cette entrée est un aperçu de l'ensemble du mémorial avec une attention particulière à la salle "Prologue". Pour des informations plus précises sur chaque "salle" du mémorial, consultez les fiches suivantes : RAD 1er mandat RAD 2e mandat FDR 3e mandat RAD 4e mandat

Mémorial de Lincoln

Lincoln Memorial, monument majestueux à Washington, DC, honorant Abraham Lincoln, le 16e président des États-Unis, et "les vertus de la tolérance, de l'honnêteté et de la constance dans l'esprit humain". Conçue par Henry Bacon sur un plan similaire à celui du Parthénon à Athènes, la structure a été construite sur des marais récupérés le long des rives de la rivière Potomac. La sélection du site a suscité la controverse; le président de la Chambre des représentants, Joseph Cannon, a préféré un endroit plus en vue à travers le Potomac, affirmant: "Je ne laisserai jamais un mémorial à Abraham Lincoln être érigé dans ce maudit marécage." La pierre angulaire a été posée en 1915 et le mémorial achevé a été inauguré devant plus de 50 000 personnes le 30 mai 1922. Le seul fils survivant de Lincoln, Robert Todd Lincoln, a assisté à la cérémonie.

Les noms de plus de 58 000 hommes et femmes qui ont donné leur vie ou sont portés disparus sont inscrits sur les murs de granit noir. Le Mémorial est dédié à honorer le courage, le sacrifice et le dévouement au devoir et au pays de tous ceux qui ont répondu à l'appel à servir pendant l'une des guerres les plus conflictuelles de l'histoire des États-Unis.
