Lincoln Memorial: Future Prediction

The designers of the Lincoln Memorial included a prediction of the future that is surprisingly accurate.

The layout and typeset of the Gettysburg Address was specifically chosen to begin the prediction. 

Everyone knows the great symbolism associated with the Memorial and the number 13. If you look at the 13th line up from the bottom of the speech you will see:

This should be read as "[United States] to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us."

But what is the great task that is remaining before us? How could the designers have possibly known in 1920? This is your task to find out.

Hint: There are four places around the Memorial where you can figure out the next part of the prediction. Go to one of the four locations shown below and look up at the underside of the roof. Remember the number 13...

Lincoln Memorial: Graffiti

There are likely small acts of vandalism that happen to the National Monuments routinely. These are corrected quickly so the public never knows and others are not encouraged to do the same. 

You may be surprised to know that there is some small graffiti on the Memorial that has been there for over 90 years. You will need a very keen eye (and maybe a flashlight) to find it.

Hint: Look in and around the wreath's below Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address...

Lincoln Memorial: The Mis-Spelled Word

You may have heard there is a word mis-spelled on the Lincoln Memorial but that is not correct. There is a word that was carved incorrectly on the Memorial but it was immediately fixed. The fix can still be seen today if you look closely.

Hint: There are many words on the monument so the picture below should help.
