Take a tour of Washington Monument in Washington, DC -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. Hi, I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the World's Greatest Attractions! The Washington Monument graces the cityscape of Washington D.C. beautifully. It honors the life of the first US President, George Washington. Dedicated in 1885, it has the distinction of being the tallest structure in Washington D.C. The monument is also one of the tallest stone structures in the world. The different shades in the stone reflect multiple periods of construction. It is surrounded by American flags and is an admired symbol of the country's patriotism. Despite its simple appearance, the Washington Monument is a widely popular attraction and a fitting memorial. Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time!
