This memorial is dedicated to the members of the Christ Church in Burritt's Rapids who volunteered for active service.

This plaque was erected in honour of Lieutenant Thomas J. Beckett.

The front lawn area of the Richmond Legion Br 625 is made up of 3 components. The Cairn was finished in 2013 and dedicated as part of the 40^th anniversary celebrations. The Fallen... Not Forgotten cross was originally part of the Memorial Park & Cenotaph until it was broken in a microburst in 1998. It was then moved to the front lawn of the Richmond Legion to become part of the garden. 

The Lest We Forget metal sculpture is the latest item added to the front of the Richmond Legion and was created as  part of the 50^th anniversary of the Richmond Legion celebrations, which were held on June 3, 2023. It sits prominently on the front grass as a reminder to all who pass by not to forget the past, present and future service members of our Canadian Armed Forces.

The Richmond Legion Mural was designed by Legion member Becky Marr-Johnson. It took hundreds of hours and over one year to complete. The mural is divided into two sections - the left section depicts the history of Richmond and Canada; in the center of the mural is a Canadian Maple leaf; and the right section depicts Canadians in service from the First World War to 1967.

The Stittsville Cenotaph was constructed in June 1982 in memory of those who died in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.

Tentative design plans for the Stittsville Cenotaph were prepared by Comrade Clive Morris. He presented them to council and the designs appeared in the Stittsville News. Shortly after, Ken Killick, a veteran of the R.A.F., made an offer on behalf of himself and three other men: Lee Olds of Thompson, Ohio, ex US Army; Dean Hardy of Alligan, Michigan, ex-Marine Corps; and Ash Bywaters of Roxton, Texas, ex-Naval Air Service. These four men wanted to donate an obelisk from the people of the US. They also offered to build the backdrop walls of precast stone.

Through the cooperation of Charlie Fraser, the staff of the Stittsville Community Centre and Bob Mills, Goulbourn, recreation director, work started on May 21, 1982. Latimer Equipment provided the backhoe and the large truck to remove excess material. The bulk of the jobs were completed by several members and friends. They wielded shovels, wheelbarrows, carried steel reinforced rods, used cutting torches, spread stone and cement, and generally did everything they could help with.

The obelisk and walls were transported to Stittsville on May 27. The cenotaph was dedicated on June 26, 1982 and the first Remembrance Day service was held at their monument on November 11, 1982.

Richmond Memorial Park Cenotaph is dedicated to all those who served their country. The eight feet cross is made of dark polished Barre granite from Quebec and is supported by a Stanstead Grey granite base. The cross is illuminated with floodlights year round. Behind the cross is a three feet fieldstone wall with two bronze plaques.

At the end of the Second World War, ex-servicemen returning to Richmond established a Patriotic Trust Fund, the purpose of which was to erect a cenotaph. The fund laid dormant until it was taken over by the Richmond Legion when it was formed in 1973. In 1976, the Legion attempted to build a cenotaph, but had to abandon the idea. When the Richmond Memorial Park was developed by the Township of Goulbourn in 1988, the dream to commemorate those who had served during war was realized.

The concrete footings and base, the Cross (made of Quebec Granite), the wall of local stone and built by John Atkinson (a professional mason), and the two wall plaques were all completed by November 5. Donations from every service club and organization, every business and over 148 private and family donations were received. On 6 November 1988 the former Minister of Defence, the Right Honourable George Hees, formally unveiled the cenotaph. 

The cenotaph was destroyed by a micro-burst in 1998. When the cenotaph was rebuilt in the summer/fall of that year, the damaged top was taken to the Richmond Legion hall and used to form the front of the garden wall. The granite cross and accompanying engraved tablet were used to create Fallen... Not Forgotten.

The cenotaph and flower beds alongside it have been maintained by the Cenotaph Committee of the Royal Canadian Legion and the flowers were planted by a class of school children from St. Philip's Catholic School in Richmond when the cenotaph was built. 

Richmond is the second oldest military settlement in Ontario. The first settlers were soldiers and their families from British Army regiments that were disbanded in Canada in the late 1800s.

Fallen... Not Forgotten is the granite cross and accompanying engraved tablet from the cenotaph. The engraved words “Fallen Not Forgotten” represents not only the fallen Veterans that are honoured and remembered by Legions worldwide, but for the Richmond Legion it also invokes memories of the original cenotaph which was destroyed by a micro-burst in 1998. When the cenotaph was rebuilt, the damaged top was taken to the Richmond Legion hall and used to form the front of the garden wall. In 2023 as part of the refurbishment of the area, the flower bed was removed and the cross was repositioned to be better seen from the street and set off with a bed of pure white stones.

This memorial is dedicated to Charles Lennox, the Duke of Richmond. It was erected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. The "Military Settlement of Richmond" was settled in 1818 by the families and officers from the war of 1812. It took its name from the Duke of Richmond who became Governor General of the British Colonies of North America in 1818. During the summer of 1819 he decided to tour the Canada. At Sorel, he was bitten in the hand by a tame fox. The incident was forgotten until some time later when the symptoms of rabies appeared. The Duke experienced great pains in his throat and shoulders, and a profound fear of water. On August 28, 1819, he died at Chapman's farm in a settler's cabin near Richmond. He had been Governor General for only 13 months.
