In City Hall Square stands the stately Soldier's Monument located at the end of the Common. The above view shows the Library in the background on a linen post card circa 1940.

Soldier's Monument

 The Soldier's Monument commemorates the heroic deeds of Lynn's soldiers that made the supreme sacrifice in the Civil War.

       On the monument are these words:        Lynn...To the Memory of Her Sons...Slain in Defense of the Nation.

The monument was made in Munich, Germany at a cost of $30,000.00 in 1873. Imagine the cost to create such a memorial today!
