The Washington Monument is reopening to the public after a 3-year closure.
WASHINGTON — After a three-year closure, the Washington Monument is reopening to the public.
"We're just excited to open it again," said National Park Service Spokesman Mike Litterst, during a Wednesday tour of the site."The views from up here are like nothing else." "It was two or three times a week," Litterst said."We couldn't guarantee that you wouldn't get stuck." Construction resumed in 1879, but builders were forced to use stone from a different quarry — giving the obelisk its distinctive two-tone color.
