Brooklyn Soldiers and Sailors Monument

The Broadway Civil War Monument in New Haven, Connecticut, is a significant historical and artistic tribute honoring the First Connecticut Light Battery and the Sixth, Seventh, and Tenth Connecticut Volunteers who served during the Civil War. Dedicated on June 16, 1905, the monument features a unique design with an octagonal base, a cylindrical pedestal flanked by two figures, and is crowned by a bronze sphere and eagle, distinguishing it from other Civil War monuments in the state.

Crafted by the Smith Granite Company, the monument exhibits artistry through its granite construction and distinctive eagle motif, which is not commonly seen in Connecticut's Civil War memorials. Surrounded by an iron picket fence and situated in a small triangular park, the monument serves as a prominent visual landmark, commemorating the sacrifices of the honored regiments while enhancing the historical narrative of Connecticut's involvement in the Civil War.
