Battle of Monocacy • Tour the Battlefield • Monuments & Markers • Armies
The first monument on the battlefield, the monument to the 14th New Jersey Infantry Regiment, was placed in 1907. It was fitting, for the 14th New Jersey not only fought in the battle, it had lived on what would become the battlefield for nine months during the winter of 1862-63. During that time many of its soldiers formed close relationships with members of the community.
The Pennsylvania monument followed in 1908, and on the 50th anniversary of the battle in 1914 a monument was dedicated to Confederate soldiers. The Vermont monument followed in 1915.
The Maryland monument was dedicated on the centennial of the battle in 1964 to its soldiers, who served on both sides in the battle.
