Improving America's Front Lawn

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being rehabilitated.

The cherry blossoms aren't the only attraction on the National Mall right now. The National Park Service is busy at work on multiple projects that will restore long-neglected parts of America's front lawn.

Current repair and restoration projects include the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the D.C. War Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial Seawall, installing levees, reconstructing Constitution Avenue, building the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, installing center lawn panels, constructing the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial, building the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial and constructing the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture.

By the end of all these construction projects, we will once again have reason to be proud of our front yard.
