Event Details

Located atop South Mountain, Washington Monument State Park is named for the first completed monument dedicated to the memory of George Washington. The Washington Monument is a rugged stone tower that was initially erected by the citizens of Boonsboro in 1827.

We will meet in the lower lot and have a strenuous hike to the monument. If you would like to go up into the monument, be prepared to climb a staircase.
