The Broadway Civil War Monument in New Haven, Connecticut, honors the First Connecticut Light Battery and the Sixth, Seventh, and Tenth Connecticut Volunteers. Dedicated on June 16, 1905, the monument features a granite pedestal with two life-sized figures and a crowning bronze eagle, symbolizing the valor of those who served during the Civil War.
Artistically significant, the monument showcases a variation of conventional design, with its octagonal base and cylindrical shaft complemented by bronze plaques. The Smith Granite Company crafted this tribute, which not only reflects the historical dedication to the soldiers but also stands as a notable example of craftsmanship in Connecticut's memorial landscape.
