Did you know that approximately 10,000 Cuyahoga County residents fought in the Civil War? Further, did you know that this was when the county had only 50,000 residents meaning that about 40% of the male population of the region served in the Civil War? The large participation in this nation changing event is something that all Cleveland residents should be proud of, yet how many of you have spent any time inside this monument? If you never have, please come see and support this Cleveland treasure. If you have a guest from out of town, take them there. It's moving and the building is beautiful. The kind people that give the tour (please say hello for me) will also tell you that while the building was funded with a county tax, which is the only one ever rescinded! It would be noteworthy for this fact alone, but the monument means so much more than that. They are also seeking donations to complete a restoration, please inquire about this during your visit!
Much better use of time than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if you want real history. An extremely undervisited treasure. Closed Sunday.
Sincerely,
