Dedicated on May 30, 1873, this twenty-two-and-a-half-foot tall obelisk of smoothly cut Concord, New Hampshire granite sits prominently on the Hollis<\/a> town common, honoring veterans of various US wars.<\/p>\n

According to the 2001 Hollis Village Historic District National Register of Historic Places Registration Form by Lisa Mausolf, the Soldiers\u2019 Monument was designed and built by architect Moses Davis of Nashua<\/a>. The monument, including the foundation and curbing, cost $2,120 in total. Nearly $800 was raised by subscription and the remainder paid for by the Town.<\/p>\n

The monument was erected seven years after the end of the Civil War and serves a dual purpose. An engraving on the side that faces East honors the eighteen soldiers from Hollis who lost their lives in that conflict, and the opposite side honors the soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.<\/p>\n

The inscription related to the American Revolution reads:<\/p>\n
