The nice ten foot long and six foot multi level high marble and bronze memorial sits on the grounds of the courthouse to help us remember those who have served in all wars to help us keep our freedom and to bring peace and freedom who do not have it.
There is not much on the memorial itself and the town is small but it is worth the trip here. If you are a geocacher there are two nearby geocaches here and if you waymark well there are a couple of these as well including a WW II memorial on the other side of the court house and a historic marker as well.
