Rockford's Veterans Memorial Hall-- Part 5: About That Moving Statue

In 1984, the statue was moved to the southwest corner of Greenwood Cemetery at Main and Auburn streets, where it stood atop a column that once was a part of the facade of the Carnegie Library, now being replaced by a new building across Wyman Street from Memorial Hall.

When the new roundabout at Main and Auburn, now called Veterans Memorial Circle, was completed in 2014, the statue was removed, restored and reinstalled on the same column in its present (and hopefully last) location.
