Greatest American Monuments include Mount Rushmore
Paris has the Eiffel Tower. London has Buckingham Palace. India has the Taj Mahal. But what about the US?
Travel and Leisure Magazine lists the “greatest American Monuments,” compiled by Sara Spangolo, an editor.
Spangolo explained the magazine was looking for amazing landmarks throughout the country that were free or very affordable. She added the magazine also considered geographic distribution.
They also noted the best time to visit (usually in the winter or off-seasons when crowds are thinner than the rest of the year).
Landmarks that made the list included Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota; The Giant Forest in the Southern Sierra Mountains; the New Orleans Garden District; The Wave (wilderness) in Coyote Buttes, Arizona; Niagara Falls; Port Head Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine (illuminated for the first time in 1791 by whale-oil lamps); and the Washington Monument.
