Oakdale Memorial Gateway was erected in 1918 as a memorial to Civil and Spanish War veterans. The bronze statue on the left is a Union soldier, while the one on the right is a Rough Rider. The original gateway stood 12 feet apart and included a folding bronze gate. In 1933, the pillars were widened to 33 feet to allow for large vehicles. After a vehicle destroyed part of the left pillar in 1990, it was rebuilt in 1992 at a cost of $70,000. The original cost of the entire gateway was $13,000. It honors the men of this vicinity who gave their lives in defense of their country and is dedicated to all loyal sons who showed distinguished valor upon the nation's battlefields.
