The Cross at the Crossroads
Monument in Illinois
The Cross at the Crossroads, also known as The Cross, is a 198-foot (60 m) tall, 113-foot (34 m) spanning[1] cross in Effingham, Illinois. It was built in 2001 after its creator was inspired by a similar cross in Groom, Texas.[2] The Cross is taller than its Groom counterpart, but was intentionally kept below 200 feet to avoid having to comply with an FAA regulation that would require a light on top of the structure.[3]
