The bronze memorial is on the left side of the building amid lots of other bronze tablets and markers. This monument is about 4 to 5 feet in height and is about 8 to 9 feet off of the ground so you kind of have to look up and strain a bit to see it. The memorial reads:
This Memorial Erected
And Dedicated in Honor of the Boys Of
* * * ADAMS COUNTY * * *
Who Made the Supreme Sacrifice
In the World War.
