Lincoln County Veterans Memorial

Lincoln County Veterans Memorial

This granite monument features a globe that rests on top of a tapered pentagonal plinth and short base. The entire work stands about three and a half feet wide and four feet tall. Each of the five faces displays a branch of the armed forces and its insignia, and a veterans’ organization at its base. There are two plaques, one on the western face and a later one on the southeastern. The plaque facing west was fist dedicated in 1970 to the citizens of Lincoln County who had served in the armed forces. Originally the plaque was on a fountain but it was moved onto a granite monument in 1993.
