Captain Nathan Hale Monument, Revolutionary War memorial in Coventry, Connecticut, US
The 45-foot granite obelisk monument features a stepped square base, paneled sections, and inscriptions on each face near Nathan Hale Cemetery entrance.
Built in 1846, this monument stands as one of the earliest war memorials in the United States, designed by architect Henry Austin and builder Solomon Willard.
The monument bears Nathan Hale's statement before his execution, representing the determination and loyalty of American soldiers during the Revolutionary War.
Located at 120 Lake Street, the monument sits within a rectangular grassy area supported by a granite retaining wall constructed in 1894.
The granite used in construction came from the same Quincy, Massachusetts quarries that provided stone for the Bunker Hill Monument.
