Monument Park

Monument Park is a County owned park in the City of Lebanon.  Located along Lehman Street, most countians are acquainted with the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in the park and are probably aware that it commemorates Lebanon countians who died in the Civil War.   Monument Park also occupies part of the ground used by the 93rd Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, when they were recruited as a regiment in 1861.

In 1996, the 93rd Pennsylvania Volunteers (Civil War reenactment) placed a small granite stone with a bronze plaque that reads, "These grounds are part of the site of "Camp Coleman," where the 93rd Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers trained during the autumn of 1861 for participation in the American Civil War.  The regiment was mustered into the service of the United States on October 28, 1861, with an enrollment of 1,020 officers and men.  The 93rd participated in 26 major battles of the Civil War, serving honorably with the Union Armies of the Potomac and Shenandoah, until mustering out on June 27, 1865."
