Erected in 1924, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World War. In November 1920, the Township of Eastnor (now the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula) approved the purchase of a War Memorial. The Monument was erected in the Eastnor Cemetery on Lot 20 Concession 4 in the former Township of Eastnor.
In May of 1924 the Monument was moved from that location and placed in front of the Eastnor Township Hall (now the Rotary Hall). In 1929 The Eastnor Horticultural Society purchased four village lots from the Tackaberry sub-division across the road from the Township Hall and established the Memorial Park. In March of 1931 the Monument was moved once again to its present location in the Memorial Park.
In 1996 Eastnor Horticultural Society and Branch #202 of The Royal Canadian Legion Lion's Head did some major work at the Cenotaph site which included bringing the grade of the property down to street level, some five to six feet lower than it was, to make it easier for veterans access. The Monument in the centre is the original one which contains the names of residents of Eastnor Township who were killed in action during the First World War. The one to the left contains the names of Lion's Head residents who were killed in action during the First World War and the Second World War. The one on the right contains names of Eastnor Township who were killed in action in the Second World War.
