The Washington Monument

The monument is undergoing restoration. That is why it has scaffolding all around it. Why do you think the Washington Monument would need to be restored?

Here I am on the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial. The monument is in the background.
I think I'll take a walk. Why do you think it is
hard to see the monument today?

I am almost there! The monument is farther

away than I thought. And it's hot, too. The

heat index is 110! Is the heat index the

actual temperature? If not, what is it?

This is a view from the other side. I had
to walk all the way around it to get a
ticket to go all the way to the top. Why
is this a monument instead of a memorial?
