Veteran’s Memorial at Fenton Freedom Park

A committee has been appointed to construct the Veteran’s Memorial at Fenton Freedom Park. The park, located within the triangle of West Shiawasee Avenue, West Elizabeth Street and Park Street is a City of Fenton Historic Site - 1837 Public Square, which was originally used for town meetings and Civil War troops mustered here before heading off to battle. The park has long been a place of remembrance to honor those who have served from our local community.

The new Veteran’s Memorial will consist of a Veteran’s pathway, filled with memorial bricks, a sponsor area, (7) flags honoring each branch of the United States military, a statue and commemorative wall. It is the goal of the Veteran’s Memorial at Fenton Freedom Park committee to unveil the memorial on Veteran’s Day 2020; Wednesday, November 11, 2020.

Initial funding for this project has been made possible by the Fenton Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, with support from the City of Fenton.
