A team of undergraduate students traveled to Washington to document President Lincoln's Cottage -- the only designated national monument in the District of Columbia -- using 3D laser scanning technology. Images collected from the scanning will support preservation research, potentially impacting historical interpretation and public outreach at the site, which was used by Lincoln and his family to escape the summer heat of downtown Washington.
