As part of an ongoing project, the Sons of Union Veterans have been assessing monuments and memorials in Wisconsin. Memorials range from a statue or cannons in a park, to a stained glass GAR window in a church or even a commemorative plaque on a wall.
This is not an all-inclusive list of Wisconsin's memorials; there are some 350 memorials in Wisconsin. We will add to this page as photographs and information become available.
The Dept. of Wisconsin's Civil War Memorials inventory is available for viewing - click to download and open on your computer.
If you have an interest in submitting a monument or memorial for this page, we require the following: at least one clear digital photo, a description of the location or address, and information about the monument, such as when it was erected and by whom, with a source cited for the information. Submit these materials to the Department of Wisconsin Signals Officer.
You may find it helpful to consult the SUVCW Civil War Memorial Assessment form and use it as a checklist of information to collect about the memorial. The form goes into detail about the monument or memorial, and you may not have all the information. As much of it that you can collect will be helpful.
