The Rockery, Civil War memorial sculpture in North Easton, Massachusetts, United States
The Rockery features an asymmetric mound of boulders with a rustic archway, rising from ground level to create a natural stone formation.
Frederick Law Olmsted designed this memorial in 1882 to honor North Easton citizens who died during the American Civil War.
The structure represents the intersection of landscape architecture and commemorative design, incorporating natural elements to symbolize peace prevailing over conflict.
The Memorial Cairn provides an elevated viewing area for visitors to observe the surrounding North Easton Center and its architectural elements.
Natural plants grow directly from spaces between the carefully positioned stones, creating an evolving monument that changes with each season.
