| A parade and dedication ceremonies for Waukesha's soldiers monument were held on September 20, 1911. The 28th Wisconsin Infantry Association, which held its annual reunion to coincide with the event, also attended. A commemorative medal was struck and given to attendees. Interestingly, the movement for the erection of the monument started in 1887. The monument, made of Vermont granite, cost $3,800, which was raised by private subscription under the initiative of the Waukesha's William B. Cushing GAR Post #19. Located in front of the Waukesha city library, in the center of Cutler Park, near the intersection of Park Avenue and Maple Street. |
