Hometown Monuments

Welcome to the "Hometown Monuments" page for the Civil War Roundtable of the Merrimack." The purpose of this page is to highlight Civil War Monuments and Memorials in the region of our CWRT, mostly Essex County, Massachusetts. This page will list the monuments by town alphabetically. This is an on-going project. Submissions must include the memorial, address (street or town common is good enough), and the photographer. Any other details may be included but edited by the webmaster. To submit, email: cwrtm1861@gmail.com .
