Recollecting Nemasket Remembering Our Veterans

On May 30, 1896, Middleborough dedicated its impressive Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial on the Town Hall lawn to the memory of the community's civil war veterans as part of its Memorial Day services that year. Though the initial proposal for the memorial was met with skepticism and concerns that the monument would be neglected in time, the Soldiers' and Sailors' monument has since become a focal point of both Memorial and Veterans' Day observances now held at the neighboring Veterans' Memorial Park.
