Members of the Grand Army of the Republic's Gustavus Wintermeyer Post decided at a regular meeting July 14, 1888, "That a monument be erected in some suitable place in the city of Sheboygan in honor and memory of all the fallen and dead heroes of the War of the Rebellion, from 1861 to 1865, and that efforts be made to raise the necessary funds." Read last week's column: How circuit riders led to a 175-year-old Sheboygan Falls church | Throwback The Grand Army of the Republic was a prominent fraternal and veterans' organization formed by Union Army, Navy and Marine Corps veterans after the Civil War. The organization, which dissolved in 1956 when its last member died, strongly advocated for pensions and other benefits for those veterans. A 1989 Sheboygan Press clipping, provided by the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center , said the park became known for patriotic events through the years. A memorial monument suited the park.
