With temperatures starting to warm up, Cleveland's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is gearing up to host multiple events this spring.
On April 29 and 30, the monument will be hosting its annual tunnel tours, according to a news release for the historic landmark."The concentric system of tunnels and walls beneath the Monument was built in 1893 and serves as its foundation," the news release states."This system supports the weight of the structure and distributes that weight evenly over the entire footprint of the granite, marble and sandstone Monument. The Monument’s Memorial Room is open to the public from 9 a.
"The Monument invites the public to see the grounds transform for spring with more than 15,000 flowers in the beds surrounding the structure," representatives said."The displays are designed to replicate the Corps and G.A.R badges and other Civil War imagery using red and white begonia, blue mink ageratum, marigolds and dusty miller. Wednesday, May 17 marks the final planting day for 2023.
The event will also feature an exhibition highlighting the regimental mascots, or military mascots, of the Civil War. These mascots were"a pet animal maintained by a military unit as a mascot for ceremonial purposes or as an emblem of that unit," representatives said.On May 30, a Memorial Day service will be held from 11 a.m. to noon to honor local veterans. The service will be held on the northwest steps and a local veteran will provide remarks.
