American Civil War Monuments
Sturbridge, Massachusetts 
Soldier's Monument 
Built 1871 
rededicated 2002 


Erected by the Town This very simple monument stands in the Commons of Sturbridge, Mass. The sentiment is simple; it's a Soldier's Monument. No lists of battles or lofty sentiments, just the names of soldiers from the area, members of different regiments, now carved on the sides. And it was erected not by a generous donor, or the state, and no name gets credit, but simply by the town to honor their own.
