This is the Civil War Monument located at Soldiers and Sailors Park, on East Front Street in Monroe, Mi. Donations were given for this project. It is a beautiful granite monument in rememberance of our county's courageous men who fought for their beliefs. Not all the names of the Monroe soldiers are on it, as some could not be confirmed at the time when the monument was ordered. There were close to 3000 men from Monroe County, Mi. believed to have served during the Civil War.
