This morning on Sunday Morning was a piece about the Washington Monument and the damage it suffered during the recent earthquake. I thought I would post a pic that I took while in D.C in March of 2009. According to the show construction began on the monument in 1848 and it was completed and opened to the public in 1888. I was lucky enough to visit the top of the monument on a trip in 8th grade. Due to the damage of the earthquake it will be indefinately closed to the public, but is still structurally sound.
