Snowy Mary Washington Monument - Matted, Signed and Framed

The Mary Washington Monument is a 50-foot granite obelisk on Washington Avenue in Fredericksburg, Virginia, that marks the burial site of Mary Ball Washington (c. 1708–1789), the mother of George Washington. 

This historic monument was completed and dedicated on May 10, 1894, by President Grover Cleveland; it bears the inscriptions “Mary, the Mother of Washington” and “Erected by her Countrywomen.”

It is widely recognized as the first monument in the United States erected by women to honor a woman, funded through the efforts of the Mary Washington Monument Association of Fredericksburg and the National Mary Washington Memorial Association, and it continues to commemorate both “America’s First Mother” and the pioneering role of women’s memorial organizations in American history.

This enchanting snowy scene was captured by local photographer Chris Landon. This print is matted, signed by the photographer, framed and wired in the back for easy and proper hanging.
