Washington Monument

This week we will be visiting the Washington Monument in Washington DC. The monument is named in remembrance of George Washington our first president who was also the commander of our Continental Army. The monument stands 555 feet tall. Construction began in 1848 and was on hold due to the lack of money from 1854 to 1877. The construction was finally finished in 1888.
