Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is a memorial building located on the west end of the national mall in Washington, D.C. It is a United States Presidential Memorial constructed in remembrance of Abraham Lincoln.

Layout
The memorial is heavily damaged but still standing. Many of its walls have been blasted open, and the head has been broken off of the statue. When the player first arrives at the location, he/she is threatened by Silas who tells the player to stay away from the Memorial. Through dialogue the player may be allowed to enter an entrance to the left of stairs where the player is met by Leroy Walker - who leads Silas and the slavers from Paradise Falls, who now occupy the Memorial. After talking with Leroy the player can start the Head of State quest this way instead of heading to the Temple of the Union and talking to Hannibal Hamlin. The player may not approach the memorial as the slavers will shoot. According to the slavers, it is kept under guard as to prevent slaves from getting any ideas about freedom, as well as making the grounds for slavery stronger in the Capital Wasteland. One slaver even mentions that the site might even be demolished to work away at the slave society's knowledge of Lincoln.

Before the quest Head of State, the head is kept at the Temple of the Union. Hannibal Hamlin sets up a settlement at the Lincoln Memorial and restores the head to the statue should the player help him to take the Memorial from the slavers.

If Head of State is completed in favor of the slaves, then five tents will spawn next to the manorial. They will be used as housing for the slaves and sometimes the player can sleep in the beds.

Notable loot

 * Nuka-Cola Quantum, located in the Memorial maintenance room on the ground floor on a metal shelf, where you meet Leroy Walker. It can be stolen with no karma loss.

Appearances
The Lincoln Memorial appears only in Fallout 3. However the Lincoln Memorials Head appears as an easter egg in Fallout: New Vegas during the Debt Collector quest. When searching for Lady Jane's Caravan in Broc Flower Cave the head of the memorial is shown tied to Jane's brahmin.

Behind the scenes

 * If you look closely at Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, inscribed in the northern wall of the memorial, the letter "F" in "Future" is slightly different than the other "F"s. This is because it was accidentally carved as an "E" originally and had to be corrected.
 * The Lincoln Memorial can be seen on channel 8: Washington, DC of the Prepare for the Future teaser site.
 * The in-game statue of Lincoln is actually much smaller than the real statue.

Bugs

 * Sometimes followers can disappear if you are going in and out of the refugee tents after you have completed the quest Head of State in favor of the slaves. Dogmeat may run into the side of the tent for no reason. Waiting doesn't seem to help, but fast traveling does.
 * The beds used to sleep in disappear after completing Hannibal's quest.
 * The game may crash once the player starts walking up to the memorial.
 * Sometimes when entering for the first time the slavers will not be there.
 * Sometimes Leroy Walker is not there or already inside the building.
 * If you kill one of the followers that you fired near Hannibal Hamlin and his other groups, they turn hostile.
 * If you kill all of the slavers and use their dead bodies to store your guns and ammunition in/on and return to Megaton/Tenpenny Tower to offload some of your excess weight, when you return to Lincoln Memorial to reclaim your weapons and items from the bodies, you will find all of your weapons and items gone, along with all of the dead slavers (with the exception of Leroy Walker's body which is still where you met him). So avoid using the dead bodies as temporary storage places.
 * If you killed everyone in Paradise Falls in aiding the escape of the slaves as per the main quest, the slavers will be hostile and will shoot at you when they can, Silas and Leroy will initially show up as friendly however but will turn hostile once the slavers shoot at you.
 * Sometimes the Enclave sentry bots that are killed outside cannot be looted.
