The Civil War Monument is the centerpiece of Cameron Park. This obelisk rises above the trees to commemorate the soldiers and sailors who served during this time. At the very top of the structure is a sculpture of Colonel James Cameron, a native of Sunbury who fell during the battle of Bull Run in 1861. The memorial is surrounded by artillery and ship's cannons. There is a dedication to Col Cameron inscribed on the base. Construction on this monument began in May of 1874 and was completed on July 4, 1879.
