Memorial Fountain and Statue, Civil War memorial fountain in Chambersburg, United States.
The cast iron fountain features a hexagonal basin spanning thirty feet in diameter with eight decorative flower vases positioned along its perimeter.
Installed in 1878, the Memorial Fountain includes four cherubs riding dolphins at the base of its twenty-six-foot central shaft topped by a turned finial.
The accompanying six-foot-tall statue depicts a uniformed soldier holding a rifle, commemorating the contributions made during the American Civil War period.
The Memorial Fountain and Statue sits at the center of Memorial Square, serving as a focal point for community gatherings and historical reflection.
Water projects from each dolphin's mouth at the fountain's base, creating four separate streams that fall into the expansive basin below.
