New Hampshire's Civil War Monuments and Memorials
Charles W. Canney Camp No. 5, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, is a non-profit organization in Rochester, New Hampshire, dedicated to preserving and promoting the Civil War and the Union Veterans. One of the biggest projects the Camp has done in the past was to help the communities of New Hampshire raise the funds and awareness needed to restore their Civil War Monuments, or the creation of new memorials. In 2004, there were around 61 Civil War monuments throughout the state; a few communities have more than one.
The Camp was able to secure a grant from the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War to help restore the Portsmouth Civil War monument. It was re-dedicated in 2003.
For the town of New Durham, a new memorial was made in memory of its Civil War soldiers. A dedication took place on 15 May 2004. - see the New Durham Memorial Page
On Memorial Day, 30 May 2005, a re-dedication of the Raymond, NH monument took place, following its restoration. - see the Raymond, NH Monument Restoration Page
