Camp Merritt Memorial Circle, Military memorial park in Cresskill, New Jersey.
The Camp Merritt Memorial Circle features a 66-foot granite obelisk with carved reliefs and inscriptions at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Knickerbocker Road.
Over one million American soldiers passed through Camp Merritt between 1917 and 1919 while traveling to European battlefields during World War I.
The monument displays 578 names at its base, including officers, enlisted men, nurses, and civilians who died at the camp during the 1918 influenza epidemic.
Visitors can access the memorial site year-round at the traffic circle connecting Cresskill and Dumont, with parking available along adjacent streets.
A copper plaque near the monument contains a dimensional stone map of the original camp layout integrated into the ground surface.
