Col. Elmer E. Ellsworth Monument and Grave
Col. Elmer E. Ellsworth Monument and Grave, Civil War memorial in Hudson View Cemetery, Mechanicville, United States.
The granite monument features a tall colonnade structure with decorative details and a restored bronze eagle at its summit in Hudson View Cemetery.
Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth, the first Union officer killed in the Civil War, received this monument in 1874 following his death in Alexandria, Virginia.
The monument reflects the 19th-century American practice of constructing grand memorials to honor military leaders who made substantial sacrifices.
The monument site within Hudson View Cemetery maintains regular cemetery hours and requires no admission fee for visitors throughout the year.
The bronze eagle, weighing 300 pounds, disappeared in 1997 but returned to its position after an antique dealer recognized it in 1998.
