The Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., is the United States of America's primary memorial to the nation's first president, George Washington. As a powerful symbol of the nation's capital, the monument is one of the city's most heavily visited sites. The Monument Grounds are situated at the monumental core of the capital city and have been the site of significant public events, ceremonies, and demonstrations for over a century. In November 2001, the National Park Service (NPS) initiated a design process that would have resulted in the construction of a new visitor facility and permanent security improvements in order to protect the Washington Monument and its visitors while improving the visitor experience, preserving the monument structure, improving accessibility, and retaining public activities on the grounds.
