"Located on a town lot across from the Halifax Congregational Church, 503 Plymouth Street. Dedicated on July 4, 1867, the monument bears the names of 24 men lost in the war. The primary inscription reads, “Our Patriot Soldiers.” A simple obelisk in form, it was constructed at a cost of $1,200. Although not the first in the Commonwealth, the Halifax monument was the first built in Plymouth County and among the earliest in the state. Fundraising was coordinated by the local Ladies Aid Association, with the Town of Halifax making a final appropriation to meet the necessary cost.[1]"
