Veterans Memorials in Grant County WI
Men and women of Grant County Wisconsin have served in all branches of the military service through war and peace times.
Located on the unique square in downtown Lancaster, the first Civil War monument in the United States was dedicated on July 4, 1867 to the memory of the brave soldiers of Grant County who fell in defense of universal liberty in the great rebellion of 1861.
