123rd New York State Volunteers, Bentonville Battlefield, Four Oaks

The memorial to the 123rd New York Volunteers was the first monument in North Carolina outside of a federal cemetery that commemorated a Union regiment. Larry Laboda, the property owner, was originally from New York and had spent years researching this unit comprised of soldiers from Washington County in New York. The monument is placed directly on a path where members of the unit would have traversed. Another New Yorker living in Raleigh, Bob Farrell, obtained soil from several parts of Washington County and spread it around the monument.
