And of course I had to get a "Sharon" T-shirt

38 1/2 feet tall, one foot for every year of the Prophet Joseph Smith's life. One of the largest solid pieces of polished granite in the world. It took 33 days to move the granite 5 1/2 miles using oxen and 22 horses. The shaft weighs 40 tons, the base weighs 60 tons. Dedicated December 23, 1905
