Soldier's and Sailor's Monument

Click Here for the full History of the monument by the Browns

"The object was “to revive the project of erecting a suitable monument to the honored soldiers and sailors who had fought in the war of 1861-1865....In September 1898, the association also arranged to acquire two Columbiad Cannon and eighty ten-inch cannonballs from the Ordnance Department in Washington to be placed near the base of the monument.

The dedication of the monument took place on Saturday, June 10, 1899. A Grand Parade preceded the Dedication Ceremony, which included music by the Waterville Military Band, several hymns and songs, and at least four speeches, the text of which can all be found in the June 15 issue of the Waterville Times...

In July 1904, the Monument Association voted to acquire a bronze statue for the top of the monument and selected a design by Henry Bonnard Bronze co. of New York City at a cost of $1,350.00. A small mortar which had topped the original monument was then placed on the ground in Monument Park.

In 1926, two German-made machine guns took their places in the Park along with the Columbiad Cannon, cannonballs and stone mortar.

In 1942, all of these – except for the mortar – were donated to the W. W. II Scrap Metal Drive."

Work on the new walkway continues and grass is seeded.

It's almost time to spend a day celebrating our village, and welcoming visitors to come enjoy it's beauty! Cruisin' Into Waterville, Sat. Sept. 16 2017

Why Cruisin'?

"The Cruisin into Waterville event began in 2005 following a two year road renovation project in the heart of the village which disrupted local businesses. A handful of forward-looking business owners and concerned citizens felt that with the construction over, it was time to showcase the beauty and charm of a village that was once more a bustling, vibrant community." www.cruisinintowaterville.com

-IN THE NEWS- Although the groundhog did just predict an early spring and it certainly felt that way for a few days, it seems we are going to be getting a little more winter. With predictions of lake effect snow up to 10 inches by Friday morning and frigid weather coming this weekend it's probably best if we all enjoy this time doing something indoors with friends and family. For the latest on this winter weather visit cnycentral.com . ****** -IN THE MAIL- -The Farmers Market has been cancelled for today- From the Waterville Farmers Market: "Because of the weather showing more snow and gusty winds into Thursday, we are canceling today's market at Morgan's Hardware.
