    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Arlington Hall officially opened in 1885 in Whitefield, Maine and functioned as a Grand Army Hall, and High School. It was funded by the Erskine Post #24 of the Grand Army of the Republic (GRA) and was imagined as a space that would promote education and interaction within the local community. The Erskine Post #24 was formed in 1869, originally consisting of 40 Union veterans from Whitefield. Today the Hall functions as a library and community centre for Whitefield and the surrounding towns.   ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Fifth Maine Regiment Memorial Hall, located in Peaks Island, Maine, was built in 1888 by veterans of the Fifth Maine Volunteer Regiment. It is a two-story building, constructed in the Queen Anne style and it is a combination of a communal centre with a commemorative space. The building served as a memorial and reunion space for Civil War veterans and their descendants, with the last reunion held there being in 1940. In 1956, the building was given to the community of the island by the veterans’ descendants and has been used as a museum since then.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Locally referred to as the "Minuteman' this monument is based on Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson's Newburyport statue of "The Volunteer'. The North Andover figure however maintains a different pose to its predecessor, as he appears to be stepping forward with his rifle ready in his arms, rather than casually slung over one shoulder. The monument's creation was repeatedly postponed, until 1912 when it was decided that it should be used to commemorate soldiers from North Andover who fought in the Civil War and other wars. The monument bears no inscription except for that of Kitson's name and the Gorham Co. founder's mark. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Prominently located on Veteran Memorial Green, near an elementary school, library and town common, this monument was designed by the well-known female sculptor Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson, who created a number of monuments to Union and Confederate troops throughout the early twentieth century. The monument is unusual, depicting a fallen standard-bearer handing a shattered Union flat to a sergeant who raises it up in his right hand, a rifle in his left. The monument was recently refurbished, and an inscription, funded in part by the League of Women Voters, was added to acknowledge Kitson's role in the monument's creation.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Volunteer is a copy of Kitson's sculpture in Newport, but unlike the original, this figure has a mustache and looks slightly older. It is possible that the committee wanted their statue to be unique, whilst basing a design on an existing monument would have been more cost-effective. It was a gift from George Washington Gay and his wife Eunice Lyon Gay. George H. Gay, was mortally wounded at the Battle of Dallas in Georgia on May 25, having enlisted with the 33rd Massachusetts Infantry when he was 18 and a student. The monument is dedicated to George H. Day and all of Sharon's "sons who fell in the Great Civil War 1861-1865'. The left panel of the Sharon Soldier's monument bears a plaque dedicated to of Deborah Sampson Gannett, the grandmother of G.W. Gay, who was also from Sharon and disguised herself as a man in order to serve in the Revolutionary War.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The first monument to a common soldier known to have been sculpted by a woman, "The Volunteer' was later used to cast multiple copies across Massachusetts and Mississippi. Kitson's monument attempted to restore individuality to the soldier by diverging from more conventional representations of the soldier as at parade rest.  Instead, the monument is striking in its life-like representation of the Union soldier: his coat is unbuttoned, trousers tucked into his boots and hand in his pocket.]]></dcterms:description>
