A sneak preview of the view from the top of the #WashingtonMonument before tomorrow's #WaMoReopening! pic.twitter.com/tuiylcTwBF — The National Mall (@TheNationalMall) May 11, 2014
The Washington Monument closed in August 2011 due to a 5.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Virginia that shook the DC metro area. The Monument sustained damage and the National Park Service closed the Monument so that repairs could be effected. The long wait is over after almost three years when the Washington Monument reopens to the public today.
We think it’s opening just in time too as DC’s other great high vantage point, the clock tower at the Old Post Office building, recently closed while the building is renovated to become Trump’s Pennsylvania Avenue hotel. The Old Post Office will be closed for approximately two years while renovations take place.
