Description
-
In the 1920s, the land on the western end of the Mall was transformed from a field into the planned landscape surrounding the newly-built Lincoln Memorial, designed by architect James Greenleaf. In this photo, a two-person team tills the land near the Memorial with a horse-drawn tractor to prepare the grounds for planting.
