About
Quick facts: The memorial stands in a small park near the center of town, honoring soldiers who died in World War I and World War II. Local schoolchildren place fresh flowers at its base every November during the town's remembrance ceremony.
Highlights: A carved stone wreath on the monument's front side still bears traces of the original gold leaf applied when it was first unveiled. During the annual ceremony, the setting sun aligns perfectly through surrounding trees to illuminate the wreath for about ten minutes.
Insider tips
- Visit during the first week of November for the town's annual remembrance ceremony with local veterans and school groups.
- The park benches near the back offer the best vantage point for photographing the full monument.
- Combine your visit with a short walk to the nearby Church of the Holy Trinity, just 5 minutes away.
- Weekday mornings are the quietest, with only occasional locals passing through the park.
