This book is the First Annual Report of the Washington Monument Association of the First School District of Pennsylvania. It chronicles the first year of work by this group whose goal was to build a memorial to George Washington and whose work was especially timely as several efforts had been made to construct such a monument and had failed. The report outlines how and why the association was formed, and discusses its activities, its setbacks, and its plans going forward, including obtaining the land on which to build the monument. This book illustrates the power and challenges faced by civic organizations in the mid-19th century, and it presents an important record of a project that aimed to honor one of America's most revered figures. The book illuminates the unique role of citizens' groups in history and serves as an important tool with which historians can provide a more accurate picture of the past.
