Visiting the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Monument in Wyoming 🇺🇸🐾

On our road trip, Simba 🐾 and I stopped at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Monument in Albany County, Wyoming — a striking 48-foot granite and bronze bust honoring the 16th President of the United States. Built in 1959 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, the monument sits atop Sherman Summit, the highest point along Interstate 80.

It’s not just a roadside stop — it’s a place where history, art, and breathtaking scenery come together.

Why Visit the Lincoln Memorial Monument?

The Lincoln Monument isn’t just impressive in size — it represents a deep connection to American history. As part of the Lincoln Highway Memorial Project, the statue was designed to honor both Lincoln’s legacy and the role of the transcontinental highway system in uniting the country.

Standing at the highest point on I-80, the monument also offers sweeping views of Wyoming’s vast plains and rugged terrain. It’s the kind of stop that blends education, inspiration, and natural beauty, making it a must-see for anyone traveling through southern Wyoming.
