Civil War Monument of Kittery, Maine

5/24/2014

0 Comments

 
Located on a hill just inside the entrance to Orchard Grove Cemetery in Kittery, this monument was erected in 1864, in memory of those men from the town who had fallen during the Rebellion. Further research was done over the years, with additional casualties of the war being found with ties to Kittery. A new plaque was made and attached to the east side of the monument in 2008, showing a more complete listing.  
ERECTED 1864
