Signers Monument, Granite obelisk in Augusta, US.
The Signers Monument is a 50-foot-tall granite obelisk on Greene Street in Augusta. The structure features a marble slab inscribed with Georgia's coat of arms and the names of three signers.
The monument was erected in 1848 and marks the burial site of George Walton and Lyman Hall, two of Georgia's three Declaration signers. The remains of the third signer, Button Gwinnett, were never located.
The monument honors three men who represented Georgia in signing the Declaration of Independence. It stands as a public recognition of individuals who shaped early American history.
The monument stands directly in front of the Augusta Municipal Center, making it easy to visit. It is accessible to visitors at any time who wish to learn about Georgia's role in American independence.
George Walton was identified through a specific injury he sustained during the British capture of Savannah in 1778. This physical mark helped researchers many decades later to recognize his remains with certainty.
