There's also the one to the 54th Mass in Boston. Dedicated in 1897. link I like the fact we've finally created a national monument for USCT, I just wish we, as a country, would get out of the habit of designating huge swaths of land as 'monuments'. That was never what that law was meant for. |

Then there is the one in D.C. that was built in 1997 and has been managed by the Park Service since 2004. link |
