Built for America’s 250th.
Washington called the new government “the last great experiment for promoting human happiness.” In the 250 years since, that experiment gave the world the airplane and the internet, and put people on the moon.
We’re scaling our 10-foot Washington up to 50 feet in steel and aluminum. It will be the tallest statue of him in America.
