Waterbury Soldiers' Monument

Nine hundred men from Waterbury went forth to fight in the war for the Union between 1861 and 1865. Their townsmen erected this monument in honor of their patriotism and to perpetuate the memory of their deeds, so that later generations would remember them and emulate their example in times of trial. It also honors both those who returned to walk with their community through later years and those who bore a heavier burden and did not come home, yet live on in the nation's love forevermore.
