The Havre de Grace GAR Monument










"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" goes the poem; that cloud should have wandered over to Maryland, where it would have had plenty of company. Anyway, the Havre de Grace GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) monument is located in Angel Hill Cemetery. It is surrounded by the tombstones of 40 or so Union veterans and a low slung fence. The inscription on the bronze plaque is as follows:

Erected June, 30, 1900, By Admiral John Rodgers Post No. 28, Department of Maryland, Grand Army Of The Republic to Honorably Discharged Soldiers And Sailors Of The Civil War, 1861 - 1865.
