Monument of States, National Historic Landmark in Kissimmee, United States.
The Monument of States rises 50 feet with 21 tiers of concrete panels containing rocks, minerals, and artifacts from across North America.
Following the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, Dr. Charles Bressler-Pettis initiated this monument project as a symbol of national solidarity during World War II.
The structure incorporates 1,500 stones donated by governors, President Roosevelt, and citizens from different states, representing national cooperation and community involvement.
Located at 300 East Monument Avenue, the monument includes informational plaques describing the origin of stones and allows visitors to examine specimens from each state.
The remains of creator Dr. Bressler-Pettis rest within the monument structure, following a special modification of local burial regulations in 1954.
