Does Lincoln have a memorial? Where is it located?

• A. Across the street from Ford's Theater, in the Petersen House back room
• B. In the Capitol Rotunda
• C. In the Smithsonian
• D. Across-town in another city

Answer: (D)

Memorials are dedicated places that honor a person’s legacy, and Abraham Lincoln has one that isn’t tucked away in the local scene but located elsewhere. The question points you toward recognizing that Lincoln’s commemorative site exists in a different city from where you might be reading about him or visiting the local Ford’s Theatre area. That’s why the best choice says it’s across-town in another city. The famous Lincoln Memorial is in Washington, DC, reinforcing the idea that such national memorials are placed in a capital city rather than in the local town of the events. The other options describe places connected to the death or to museums, not dedicated memorial sites.
