What war memorials are available in the community for viewing?
The library houses three veterans’ memorials. First, the foyer of the original library houses the World War I Peace Memorial. The Peace Memorial is a beautiful, quiet area with stained glass windows and bronze engravings. Second, most of Natick veterans from World War II, Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War are listed on bronze plaques on the exterior of the library building arcade. Third, on Memorial Day 2007, the Natick Veterans Council installed a memorial bench in honor of all of the Natick women who have served in the armed forces. The Natick Common is the site of the Civil War memorial and nearby on Route 27, is Moran Park, a lovely garden memorial. There are also a number of memorial bridges located throughout the community.
