Ohiopyle Area Veteran's Memorial - Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania
The Ohiopyle Area Veteran's memorial was erected post WWII on the grounds of the then Ohiopyle School, even before the park was created to honor those of all branches of the military from Ohiopyle Borough and Stewart Township that served their country in the event of war in America. The school closed in 1982 and the building is now the Ohiopyle-Stewart Community Center.
