  • Loved learning about all the history and what this monument represents. It’s an amazing structure, free to visit, and doesn’t take much time. Check it out.

  • What a tombstone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sylvia 4-star = amazing. The world larger Greek Doric column and 3rd largest USA National Park Monument at 352 total height. It may look plain, but if you have a pass, go...

  • This place is really impressive. You don't really get a feel for exactly how tall this monument is, until you are standing underneath of it looking up. It was a shame that we weren't able to go up to the observation deck, as out time was short, and the line for the elevator was way too long. What an awesome view the property offers though. Truly an honorable memorial for Perry. Next time we come, we will make it a point to ride up to the top. I'm sure that the view is breathtaking
  • If you want the most fantastic view of the island, you can only go here. It has an elevator to the top to see the whole surrounding islands and area. The monument has great information in the visitor center that tells you all about the battle, history, and the people involved. It is run by park service folk that will answer any of your questions and are friendly and professional. It is also one of the taller monuments in all of the United States. It truely is a beautiful monument, view, and amazing part of history.
