The Washington Monument


George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 and he died December 14, 1799. In his life he was a great man. He led the army of the revolution to split off from Britain and he was the first president of America. His major accomplishments are leading his army to victory and being the first president of America.

The Washington Monument is long and tall. It is located right next to the reflection pool so it looks like there are two. It was made by Robert Mills who made it look like a Greek column. Right next to this monument is the WWII memorial and the Lincoln monument.
