This 555-foot high marble obelisk is an imposing presence on the National Mall, much as George Washington was an imposing presence during his time as president and now in our nation's history. From its inception to its current renovations, inquisitive readers will learn how and when the monument was built, and what happened when the project ran out of money. Eye-catching photographs show the inside and the outside of the monument. Readers will surely be motivated to put a visit to the monument on their wish lists.
