The Carleton County War Memorial was constructed in the early 1920s by H. McGratton and Sons, St. George, New Brunswick. The stone was taken from their own quarries. The monument is about 24 feet high and weighs 40 tons. A carved granite statue of a First World War Canadian soldier standing at attention tops the memorial.
This memorial was erected by the Carleton County Council to honour those who lost their lives in the First World War. It was later modified with the addition of a bronze plaque honouring those who lost their lives in the Second World War.
