This monument was dedicated on September 2, 1890 to honor the Civil War Union veterans from Portage County. The granite memorial features a sculpture of a Union soldier holding a flag and grasping his sword at the top of a tall obelisk. A pile of cannonballs at the base compliments the 30 pounder Parrott Rifle. There are several symbols carved into the base of the monument, including the Seal of the United States, a G.A.R. membership badge, the Wisconsin State Seal, and a fourth unidentified symbol. One side of the obelisk contains a raised relief sculpture of crossed flag and musket, canteen, cartridge box and bayonet scabbard. The central pink granite inscription area shows carved vertical cannon barrels on the corners.
