The Mary Washington Monument is the first monument in the United States funded by women to honor a woman. The first resolution in 1890 of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was a pledge to complete the monument to Mary Ball Washington, mother of George Washington. The effort following her death in 1789 took more than a century to realize.
