EXHIBITION
OPENING A Soldier’s Monument: Then and Now
In 1864, the City of Newton purchased a lot of land in Newton Cemetery to erect a monument to honor the soldiers of Newton
already lost in the Civil War. With the help of private donations and money
raised by the schoolchildren of Newton, the monument became the second one in
the state to be erected. This year, with the help of CPA funds, the monument has
benefited from preservation work that will allow it to see another 150 years.
Come celebrate the birthday of this Newton treasure with an exhibit about its
preservation. At the Jackson Homestead
and Museum, 527 Washington Street. Free and open to the public.
