​A Monument Association had been formed years prior, to raise funds for the monument. It was made of Barre granite, and stood 14.5 feet high. A white granite statue of a soldier at parade rest stands atop it, with bronze tablets on two sides, listing the names of the 144 men accredited to the town during the Civil War. The GAR badge adorns the front tablet.
