    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Situated in front of Great Barrington's town hall, this Civil War memorial displays an 8-foot statue of the Goddess "Victory' atop a golden globe, holding both golden laurel wreath and olive branch, placed on a brownstone column. It was dedicated, in memory of the town's residents who fought for the Union cause, on 1 July, 1876. The monument's artist was noted sculptor Truman Howe Bartlett, and its design is said to have been inspired by a statue excavated from Pompeii with which Bartlett was familiar. Though there was, in 1912, a call by some locals to replace the representation of Victory with a more conventional Civil War figure, the monument was defended by local resident and Medal of Honor recipient Frederick N. Deland, and was ultimately preserved.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in Monument Square, Nantucket's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument replaced the island's old "Liberty Pole' upon its 1874 erection; it was dedicated on May 29, 1875. The memorial is comprised of an obelisk, constructed by Quincy Marble Works and transported to Nantucket by schooner, atop a granite millstone from the local Old North Grist Mill. Owing to Nantucket's Quaker roots, the island had previously abstained from armed conflict, but sent a total of 339 soldiers, notably more than its quota, to fight for the Union cause. Upon the shaft of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument are inscribed the names of the 73 islanders who died in the Civil War.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Residing on an eminence in North Weymouth Cemetery, "one of the oldest cemeteries still in use in the United States', the Soldiers' Monument stands at 25 feet and was dedicated on July 4, 1868. An obelisk of Quincy granite, this monument is flanked by naval canons and was placed in honour of the 99 men from Weymouth who are known to have died during the Civil War. The name, company, regiment, age and cause of death of each of these soldiers is on the obelisk inscribed; these inscriptions were originally written on appended marble tablets that have since been removed. While the monument's planning committee had reportedly planned for each of Weymouth's four villages to erect a monument, North Weymouth's Soldiers' Monument remains the town's only Civil War memorial. It was rededicated on May 12, 2018.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in Framingham's Centre Common, the Edgell Memorial Library was built in 1872 and dedicated on February 22, 1873. A distinctive structure with a purple and red slate roof, the Library stands as one of the few remaining Gothic buildings in the area. Opening as the town's first public library, it was dedicated to the 530 Framingham men who served in the Civil War; tablets inside list the names of 27 locals who were killed in action. When the town moved its library in 1963, the Edgell Memorial Library was saved from destruction by the Framingham Historical Society, and was converted into an exhibition and office space.

Within the library's permanent exhibition is a marble bust of General George H. Gordon, Framingham's highest ranking officer in the Civil War. The bust was designed by Daniel C. French, and was gifted to the library by members of the Second Massachusetts Infantry. The building also houses the restored colors of the 13th Massachusetts Infantry. In April 2011, restorative work on the Edgell Memorial Library was completed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Depicting a Union soldier at parade rest, this memorial statue was dedicated on February 22, 1873 and originally resided within the Edgell Memorial Library which it now guards. This move was reportedly caused by an inability of the library authorities to enforce the building's dress code: seeing the standing soldier in full uniform, patrons would often refuse to uncover their own hats. The memorial was largely funded by Framingham resident George Phipps, who provided the required $3,000 upon the request of local patriot George G. Brown. Mr Phipps is anecdotally said to have begrudgingly parted with the money, remarking "There's a check for your brazen image." The statue is taken from an original prototype by sculptor Martin Milmore for a monument in Charlestown in 1871. Framingham's version, in bronze, was cast by Ames Foundry in Chicopee.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Springfield's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is an imposing granite column of over 40 feet topped by a standing Union soldier. Funded by Gurdon Bill, a wealthy local resident who later became President of the Springfield & New London Railroad Company, the memorial was then gifted to the Wilcox Post 16 of the G. A. R. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, which was created at the cost of $10,000, was erected in Springfield's Court Square and dedicated on September 29, 1885; contemporaneous reports affirm that over 1200 men were involved in the dedicatory procession. The monument's bronze tablets include an excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and honour the 2,485 Springfield soldiers who fought in the Civil War as well as all those who died for the Union cause. The monument was designed by M. H. Mosman, as stated on its west-side tablet, however the statue cast was provided by the Ames Foundry in Chicopee; it's likeness can be seen in several other Massachusetts memorials.]]></dcterms:description>
