Civil War Monument

The Civil War Monument in Denver is a granite statue with bronze details showing a uniformed soldier standing upright on a tall pedestal. The figure sits in the Civic Center area and forms a focal point among the surrounding downtown buildings and plazas.

The monument was built after the Civil War to honor Colorado's support for the Union cause. It was created during a period when many Northern states erected similar memorials to remember their military contributions.

Regular ceremonies at the monument bring together veterans' descendants and residents to reflect on the impact of the Civil War on Colorado's development.

The monument is located near walkways and public plazas that are easy to access on foot. Several parking facilities and bus stops are within walking distance of the site.

The monument bears engraved names of specific Colorado military units and records their battles during the war. These details serve as a local historical record showing how the conflict directly affected the region.
