Dauphin County Veteran's Memorial Obelisk, Civil War memorial obelisk in central Harrisburg, United States.
The Dauphin County Veteran's Memorial Obelisk rises 110 feet high and weighs over 600 tons, featuring stone inscriptions honoring military service members.
The monument construction began in 1867 under engineer E. Hudson Worrall's design, but faced financial challenges until its completion in November 1876.
The memorial serves as a central gathering point for commemorative ceremonies and events honoring veterans from Dauphin County throughout the year.
The obelisk stands at the intersection of Third and Division streets, near the Zembo Shrine Building and Italian Lake in Harrisburg.
Originally located at North Second and State Streets, the 600-ton structure was moved to its current location in 1960 during a major renovation.
