Washington Avenue Soldier's Monument and Triangle
Washington Avenue Soldier's Monument and Triangle, War memorial at Washington Avenue and Lafayette Avenue, Suffern, United States.
The monument features a zinc doughboy statue standing on a white pedestal and includes a Revolutionary War cannon mounted on a granite platform.
George Washington and Rochambeau stationed Continental Army troops near this location during different periods of the Revolutionary War campaign in 1777.
The memorial displays plaques listing local military personnel from Suffern who died in various conflicts, serving as a central point for remembrance.
The monument occupies a triangular space between intersecting streets, with access to commemorative ceremonies and educational programs about military history.
The J.W. Fiske Iron Works created the statue in zinc instead of bronze, demonstrating the economic considerations of small-town monument construction in 1921.
