The Undercroft beneath the Lincoln Memorial and it’s a fascinating story that’s suddenly in the news because the public can finally see it. The Lincoln Memorial sits on what used to be swampy, marshy land (the Potomac Flats) that was reclaimed from the river through dredging and filling. When construction started in 1914, engineers knew the soft soil couldn’t support the massive marble structure and the huge statue of Lincoln without it sinking. Their solution was to excavate down roughly 40–50 feet and install about 120–122 massive concrete pillars (sometimes called piers or piles). These were driven all the way down to solid bedrock. The pillars support the entire weight of the memorial above. The huge open space they created underneath, a cavernous, roughly 50,000-square-foot structural chamber (nearly twice the size of the memorial itself) is called the Undercroft. For over 100 years this space stayed hidden from the public. It was basically a giant concrete forest of towering pillars holding everything up, with some original construction graffiti still visible on them and even stalactites from water seeping through over time. The National Park Service has turned part of it (about 15,000 square feet) into a new museum and exhibit space. You can now walk in and see the actual massive concrete supports that were put in because of the swampy ground, along with interactive exhibits about the engineering challenges, the memorial’s construction, and its powerful role in American history (including civil rights moments like Marian Anderson’s concert and MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech). It officially opens to the public on June 25, 2026, with timed-entry tickets required (free admission, small service fee for advance reservations). It’s already getting a lot of attention in the media as one of Washington’s “best-kept secrets” finally revealed.

For more than a century, one of Washington's best-kept secrets lay beneath the Lincoln Memorial: the Undercroft, a soaring 50,000-square-foot foundation built to keep the landmark from sinking into D.C.'s swampy ground. Beginning in June, the public will be able to visit the space, now with a museum tracing the memorial's history, from its construction to its role as a powerful stage for the civil rights movement.

I have been in space for 50+ days now. It has been an amazing experience so far. I have so many highlights. One of the highlights was getting a video of the eclipse. It was eerily beautiful, and what an opportunity to see it from the International Space Station!

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST NOW: Reveals that the Democrats allowed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to LEAK LIKE A SIEVE, fester in goose poop and algae, over a dozen TONS of garbage had to be removed And the Democrats PREFER the filth! "If you’d like to see the construction of the Reflecting Pool located between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, and look at the beginning of what will be the final sparkling blue surface, go check it out, now! Obama and Biden, they say, spent over 100 Million Dollars, with years under construction, and it never worked — It leaked like a sieve, looked terrible, was closed most of the time, and was a complete disaster." "They ultimately gave up on the project, declaring that it was impossible to fix! Then along came “TRUMP!” Doug Burgum and his team, at the Department of Interior, are doing an excellent job on a very complex, but solvable, problem." "When it is complete, there will be no leakage, which there was since its 1922 construction, and it will SPARKLE magnificently as the water is put in, and begins to rise. A very tricky and difficult construction job will yield a beautiful result!"

The space ignored a problem that was hurting it from the inside. - Celebs sold a 'get rich quick' dream - Many got taken advantage of - It gave the space a bad look - Most never came back & publicly denied their involvement This is exactly what Thrust was built to solve.

🚨 NOW: President Trump stuns the left by announcing the FINAL Lincoln reflecting pool coat is being completed 4PM TODAY — and the water will flow LFG 🇺🇸 “Excitingly, the final coat of protection will be completed on the Reflecting Pool that sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial, at 4 P.M., today. The water will start flowing, shortly thereafter..” “The walking paths outside of the Pool will, likewise, be cleaned, sandblasted, and finished soon. This will be the first time since the day it was built, 1922, that it has worked, and worked wonderfully, indeed! President DONALD J. TRUMP” I voted for that.

The Time That Remains (2009) is an incredible film that left me in tears. It’s one of the most powerful films of what it means to be Palestinian inside the Green Line, living in a state that was built on the erasure of your history.
