Stoughton Veterans Memorial dedication (October 14, 2017)
Since the dedication of the Stoughton Veterans Memorial in October of 2017, improvements continue to be made and efforts to maintain this beautiful monument are ongoing.
Late last summer, an underground sprinkler system was installed; entryway pillars were put in place and trees were planted at the entrance to the parking lot.
This spring, the names of approximately 76 Stoughton area veterans will be added to the black granite walls. The parking lot will be resurfaced and restriped. Other ongoing upkeep includes lawn maintenance, insurance, utilities, security cameras and replacing the eleven flags three times per year.
Projected maintenance costs for 2020 are just over $15,000.
Major contributors to help offset these costs are the Thrivent Financial "Raise The Flag" project and the Freedom Riders motorcycle run which will be held on Saturday, June 13.
