The Madison County Historical Society is now actively working on a memorial to honor our World War II dead. The monument will be a black granite with white lettering. It will measure 48" x 72" and will be placed on the Madison County Courthouse lawn on the Second Street side. Madison County Fiscal Court will provide the base and concrete path around the monument with benches located in front of the monument. The estimated cost of the monument will be $12,500.

 
We are asking for donations to fund this very worthwhile memorial.  Please click the title for more information. Thank you.
