NEW YORK (AP) — “As the nation marks Memorial Day, New York City officials have unveiled a newly refurbished Civil War monument in Manhattan’s Riverside Park.

The city and the private Riverside Park Fund have paid more than $1 million for new plantings, chess tables, lighting and other improvements to the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. The work included cleaning and restoring a pair of 1865 U.S. Army cannons.

The nearly 100-foot-tall marble and granite monument commemorates New York State residents who fought in the Union Army during the Civil War. It was finished in 1902.”
