Soldiers and Sailors Monument, Civil War memorial at East Rock Park, New Haven, United States.

The granite monument rises 112 feet high, featuring bronze statues of four female figures at its base and the Angel of Peace at its summit.

Completed in 1887, this monument honors New Haven residents who died in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, and Civil War.

Bronze tablets display names of fallen soldiers from twelve regiments, with battle inscriptions and military emblems marking significant conflicts.

Visitors can access the interior observation deck through a narrow spiral staircase on select days throughout the year with advance arrangements.

The monument's dedication ceremony in 1887 drew 175,000 people, including generals William Tecumseh Sherman and Philip Henry Sheridan.
