Historical
interpreter at
Williamsburg
Washington Monument
Monument, a 555-foot marble
obelisk, has been a focal point of
Washington, D.C., for over 150 years.
Enter the ground floor lobby to board
the elevator that ascends to the
top-floor, 500-foot observation deck at
the base of the pyramidion that
provides views out two windows on
each side. Viewing from outside, you
might notice a significant color change
in the monument's stone. When
construction began on the monument
in 1854, the Washington National Monument Society
ran out of money, forcing them to halt the project. In
1884, the U.S. Government took over the project and
completed the upper two-thirds using marble from a
different quarry.
Architect Henry Bacon believed that a memorial to a
man who defended democracy should reflect the
birthplace of democracy. This prompted him to model
the Lincoln Memorial after the Parthenon in Athens,
Greece. The memorial's 36 fluted Doric columns
represent each of the 36 states in the Union at the time of
President Lincoln's death.
As you ascend the steps of the memorial, you can
almost hear the echoes of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's
historic 1963 'I Have a Dream' speech or Marian
Anderson's powerful rendition of 'America' performed
one brisk Easter evening in 1939.
The inside of the memorial is divided into three
chambers separated by two rows of four Ionic columns.
Look up to admire the glowing ceiling framed by bronze
girders and embellished with laurel and oak leaves. The
sight of the larger-than-life statue of Abraham Lincoln is
likely to evoke a sense of subdued reflection and awe.
Spend time along the National Mall, the swath of land
dubbed "America's front yard." Here you'll find the
World War II Memorial, which honors the 16 million
people who served in the U.S. armed forces and the more
than 400,000 who died. Often called "The Wall That
Heals," the Vietnam Veterans Memorial spans two acres.
The memorial chronologically lists the names of more
than 58,000 Americans who fought and died in the
controversial war, as well as those who were unaccounted
for during the war.
