We just happened upon the monument walking to our hotel. We were immediately greeted by an employee that told us the about the monument and its history. The architecture is beautiful, we really enjoyed our visit.
6 months agoWonderful monument dedicated to the many soldiers that gave it their all. A lot of history and stories to be told.
a month agoLooking better than ever, much better than it looked in the 1970’s! Do take the time to visit inside, it’s free, with many nice exhibits and impressive art. So many Presidents depicted. The volunteer hosts are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Some people say the world is going downhill but at this place, it’s improved, well kept, and staffed with caring volunteers. Thanks to all. Allow 20-30 minutes for a fairly complete visit, but even a few minutes works if you are on a tight schedule.
a year agoWhat a treasure this historic monument is - and the workers/volunteers are so knowledgeable. Once a year they open the tunnels under the monument up for tours, which is cool, but the best part is learning all about the monument, the different sides and sculptures, what they mean, the different statues contained inside the lobby etc. The underground tour is a minimal charge, usually in late April. But the monument itself is FREE every other day. If you live in or visit Cleveland you have to go visit this treasure of a monument - and plan on spending time talking to the volunteers/workers.
a year agoThe monument is a work of art inside and out. The men working the day we went were very friendly and knowledgeable!
