Spanish American War Marker Boulder

View Item Record

Notes:

A group of men pose for a photograph while loading a large boulder onto a flatbed rail car. The boulder was originally located at the Lion's Boy Scout camp. It was moved by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and then transferred to Lookout Park by Golden-Boterto. It became a veterans monument for soldiers in the Spanish-American War of 1898. Several workmen and two men in suits look toward the camera.
