Herman Davis State Park
Herman Davis State Park, War memorial state park in Manila, Arkansas.
Herman Davis State Park is a war memorial in Manila featuring a focused and modest design. At its center stands a granite obelisk approximately 25 feet tall, topped with a statue of a soldier in World War I infantry uniform.
The park was established to honor a soldier who received recognition for exceptional bravery during World War I. The local community raised funds to create this memorial, preserving the memory of the fallen hero for future generations.
The memorial honors a local fallen soldier and shows how deeply the community values the memory of one of its own. The statue serves as a tangible connection between visitors and the personal stories of those affected by war.
The memorial is located at the intersection of Baltimore Avenue and Arkansas Highway 18 and remains open year-round for visitors. The site is straightforward to find and easy to navigate without special preparation.
The memorial serves as both a public monument and a burial site, as the soldier's remains are interred directly behind the statue. This dual purpose makes it an unusual memorial that honors both his public service and his final resting place.
