The Soldiers and Sailors Monument rises as a tall column topped by a statue, with several figures gathered at its base. A domed building with a clock tower stands beside it. The caption records the monument's dedication on June 21, 1906, and names D. R. Stratford of Lewistown as contractor. The date places it among the Civil War memorials that Pennsylvania communities raised in the decades after the war, often at the center of a county seat.
