About Us
The Wisconsin Memorial, located on Union Avenue in Vicksburg, Mississippi, is a stunning monument constructed from Winnsboro granite. Standing at 122 feet tall, the memorial features a bronze statue of "Old Abe," the war eagle mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry. The monument, which cost $90,644 to erect, was dedicated on May 22, 1911, and includes bronze tablets with the names of the 9,075 Wisconsin troops who fought at Vicksburg. A relief tablet at the base of the column depicts a Union and Confederate soldier clasping hands in friendship, symbolizing the peace between the states. Designed by sculptor Julius Loester, the Wisconsin Memorial is a poignant tribute to the soldiers who fought in the Civil War.
