A plan that started with a vision will finally see its grand inauguration on Thursday at 1 PM. The new Taylorville Veteran’s Memorial will be holding its grand opening on Thursday at 1 PM in a special ceremony that will see speeches from US Representative Rodney Davis along with Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry. Memorial Organizer, Dr. Ron Mizer says he is so excited to see this complete after all the work that went into it.  This project started over 4 years ago.

One of the major attractions at the Memorial is a refurbished 4.7 Howitzer from 1908. 

The information on the Howitzer has gone to an Eagle Scout named Brandon Garrett who is doing a project on its history. One of the big focuses at the park is the Memorial Wall.

Everything was meticulously planned including the location.
