Description of Memorial:
This memorial is located in front of the Hillsborough Courthouse. It is to the left of the main front doors of the courthouse. There is parking directly in front and on the side streets surrounding this building. Depending on when you come will determine how easy or hard finding a parking space will be. The best time to visit (in my opinion) is on the weekend. There are also a lot of other waymarks in this area so make sure you allow plenty of time. Lots of history in downtown Tampa.
Date of dedication: Not listed
