Granby Civil War Monument

Voluntary contributions erected this monument on July 4, 1868, in honor of the brave men from the Town of Granby who laid down their lives for the Union in the War of the Great Rebellion. It records Granby soldiers who died while serving in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, U.S., and Invalid Corps units, names battlefields and places including Andersonville, Petersburg, Cold Harbor, and Sharpsburg, and includes the inscriptions "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more," "Faithful Unto Death," "Death is swallowed up in Victory," and "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." It also notes that the monument was restored through the generosity of the townspeople and friends of Granby and rededicated on November 10, 2002, and adds a list from an 1889 Connecticut Adjutants-General publication of Granby soldiers who also died in the Civil War.
