"A nice monument, but not much of a wow factor. Interestong that all states of the USA contributed rocks from their state, other than that not much to it."
Esther Meijer
"I love quirky historical sites, and this is a cool one. The Monument of States is a huge step-pyramid with an American eagle and a flag at the top. It’s a nice setting, with benches and shady trees, parks and a library nearby.
The monument itself looks like it weighs a ton, and it does 😆. According to Wikipedia “an estimated 100,000 pounds and reinforced with 3 ½ tons of steel rails.”
It was built after the Pearl Harbor attack, and restored in 1993 (with a time capsule is scheduled to be opened in 2043) and designated a National Historic Monument in 2015.
It’s open 24hrs, a great place to stretch your legs, it’s free and accessible."
