Great American Moments |
Late one night in 1864, a group of men rushed the shack where the watchman for the Washington Monument lived and barricaded the door. The thieves stole a block of marble blessed by the pope that was to be placed in the monument. It was never recovered. This is one of the many intriguing stories about the country's presidential memorials. Also, see graffiti from the 1800s and learn about Nixon's secret meeting at the Lincoln Memorial. |
