The Washington Monument: Centerpiece of the National Mall

Catholic Eldercare will host a free presentation on Monday, August 6, 1:30-3 pm at the MainStreet Lodge, 909 Main St. NE. The 555-foot Washington Monument stands proudly in the center of the National Mall in Washington, DC. Building the monument involved disagreements about the design, political infighting, inability to raise money, and a 22-year interruption in the building phase. Presented by David Jones as part of Catholic Eldercare’s Elder Enrichment Series. Call 612-362-2450 to register.
