Washington Monument Trivia



We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Thanks for stopping by to check out our blog- where you can find helpful info, news, and maybe a few new discoveries about the Washington, DC area. Here are a couple of facts about the Washington Monument:

There are 898 steps to the top of the monument, and 193 memorial
stones line the inside of the monument as gifts from the 50 states and
many foreign governments. The steps are closed to the public, who instead utilize an elevator. The elevator in the monument moves at a blinding speed of 500 feet in slightly under 70 seconds. Whoosh!
 

It is our pleasure to provide this information. If you are traveling to the Washington DC area and require  Washington DC corporate housing or are in need of military housing Washington DC please consider Stay Attache.
