This unique memorial, established in Lowell's Edson Cemetery in 1905, honors the memory of veterans of America's Civil War and the Spanish-American war. The entire memorial consists of a large granite structure, several cannons and anchors and a flag pole, all located around and near the final resting places of veterans of the two wars.
The memorial is located inside Lowell's Edson Cemetery, having been purchased from the City of Lowell by the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Association in 1905 for one dollar.
Originally, the granite monument that serves as the centerpiece of the memorial had the metal figure of Civil War soldier mounted on top, but the soldier figure is no longer in place.
