What was the first National Monument in the United States?

I would have appreciated a photo of devels tower to go along with the answer 😎 GOOD QUESTION

Bill0325, that would have made the answer too easy. close encounters of the 3rd kind

So glad I went against majority rules because it was wrong once again and I knew that I'd read the answer somewhere else before now!

I feel any question concerning the first of anything is open for debate and not a legit question

best question of the month,thanks

Barbara Toms, if you seen the movie.. Close Encounters of the Third Kind.. the big huge mountain in the movie was the Devils Tower.

Remembered this

Where is devil's tower ?

Barbara Toms, Watch 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

Totally miss it. To be truthful, I didn't even knew that strang formation was an actual monument.

Awesomeness 🎶💕💕🎶🇺🇸🚴🏄🍻

Dan Shill, On the 4th of July, 1848, under a bright sky, in the presence of the President and Vice President of the United .States^ Senators and Representatives in Congress, the Heads of the Executive Depart ments, and other officers, Executive and Judicial, of the Government, the Corporate Authorities of Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandria, military companies^ associations of many de scriptions, delegations from States and Territories of the Union and from several Indian tribes, and a countless multitude; Eobeet C. Winthrop, Speaker of the House of Bepresentatives, pronounced an eloquent oration on the occasion; other addresses were delivered; and the corner-stone was laid of a "Great Na tional Monument to the memory of Washington at the seat of the Federal Government."

Love this game

Non-Native..Another ridiculous term to call people..Pretty sure all people immigrated here at one time or another. 5000 years or 500 years ago doesn't really matter..unless you think that Natives evolved from worms or something...

Lucky guess.

I guessed the Washington Monument, as I suspect most did. Would have appreciated an explanation of why the WASN'T the right answer, since it was started in 1848 and completed in 1888. Was it not designated a "national monument"?

Good one
