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.

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.

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. Extent The size or duration of the resource.

Erected by the Citizens of Bangor and dedicated to the men of Bangor who served during the war, this monument was consecrated on 17th June 1864. With the dominant engraving facing towards the Penobscot River, this twenty-foot granite monument is composed of a stepped base, a midsection inscribed with a main inscription and the names of fallen Union troops and surmounted by an obelisk. The conception of the monument, and a dedicated lot for civil war veterans, originated in February 1863 with the arrival of the body of Col. Stephen Decatur Carpenter, the first of Bangor's casualties. Over the course of 1863 The Soldiers Cemetery Corporation was formed and raised $3,489.94 from public subscription to fund the lot and monument. The monument was designed by S. P. Bradbury of Bangor and created by Sanborn & Co. based in East Cambridge, MA. Throughout the war a larger GAR lot was later established. Extent The size or duration of the resource.

The fountain was erected in Hill Park in the city of Helena, Montana, and dedicated on September 5th, 1916, making it the only monument to the Confederacy in the Northwestern United States. It consisted of a square stone base with a plinth in the center. On the plinth rested the basin, and out of the basin rose an octagonal prism which was the fountainhead, and also had the inscriptions carved on it. In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in July of 2015, some city officials broached renaming the fountain the "Civil War Memorial Fountain," but the Lewis & Clark County Heritage Tourism Council argued for its preservation as a historic monument. However, after the white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August of 2017, the fountain was removed in response to general protest, as well as a letter signed by members of the Native American Caucus, the Montana House of Representatives, and the Montana Senate delivered to city officials calling for the removal of the fountain.
