FIRST MONUMENT TO GEORGE WASHINGTON
Located in one of Maryland's many State Parks

The first monument erected to the memory of George
Washington is located on top of South Mountain near
Boonsboro, whose citizens built it in 1827. The origi-
nal monument was gradually reduced to a state of
near-ruins over the years, but it was restored and re-
dedicated by the Odd Fellows Lodge of Boonsboro,
Md. on July 4, 1882. It was restored & rededicated
again in 1936 by the C.C.C. It has a good access road
with camping, picnicking and sanitary facilities.
