Newburyport's Atkinson Common Civil War memorial (photo by Liz Hallett)
The Civil War Roundtable of the Merrimack has begun a "member participation" project.
We're looking for members to take photos of their Hometown Civil War Memorials, then email the photo to the CWRT of the Merrimack website along with info, such as the town, location (address etc) and any info you might know related to the monument.
As we get them, we'll begin a section on our website as a source of sorts, listing the Monuments or Memorials.
To keep things from getting out of hand, we'd like to keep it to the northeastern part of Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire and southen Maine. These are the areas our members reside.
Feel free to send in other towns adjecent to your town or one maybe not covered by membership.
Our email: cwrtm1861@gmail.com
