The Pennsylvania Monument is on the south side of the Cold Harbor National Cemetery. It can be seen from the road, towering over the cemetery wall. (see map below)

The monument was erected in 1909 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The dedication ceremony lasted six days; 690 surviving veterans of Cold Harbor attended.

The thirty foot tall monument is topped by the statue of a soldier at parade rest. It was designed by Architect J. Henry Brown of Richmond. A bronze tablet of the Seal of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is on the front of the monument beneath crossed flags with the dates 1861 and 1865.
