The city of Baltimore was first in the nation to construct a large-scale monument to honor George Washington – Washington Monument and Mount Vernon Park, often referred to as the heart and soul of Baltimore. Designed by Robert Mills, creator of the better known Washington Monument in our nation's capital, it stands 178 feet tall and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 228-step spiral staircase to its top more than rewards intrepid visitors with lovely views of the city skyline. |
