Atop a stone base resembling a tombstone is a standing WWI soldier with his arms folded in front of him. It is a tribute to the vet­erans of WWI.

The Harvard Memorial Church honors students from Harvard who fought and died in World War I. The main memorial hall was built to memorialize the British and American students. After a great controversy arose, a memorial marker was placed to honor four German students who fought for the Kaiser and who entered the war and died before the USA entered the war. It is written in Latin and found in the back corner of the main sanctuary. This controversy over the German memorial is the subject of the best-selling novel The End of Innocence.

Harvard World War I Memorial

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

The Harvard World War Memorial was erected in 1921 at a total cost of $1,488.  Town records originally identified the Monument as the Soldiers’ Memorial to the Veterans of World War. The monument is composed of 50' flagpole anchored with a high-density reinforced concrete base, mid-section, and flagpole collar, with two bronze plaques affixed to the mid-section. The plaque on the south side honors all those of Harvard who loyally served and in memory of Private Thomas, killed in action. The plaque on the north side identifies 64 Harvard residents at the time of the war who served honorably. The monument has served as a gathering site for Memorial Day parade speeches and as  a backdrop for Christmas tree lighting and other gatherings for many years.

"Metal sculpture of a "doughboy" from World War I was crafted by Ken Nyberg. Ken, a regional metal artist, has created many wonderful, life-like, realistic and whimsical statues that are on display in many local communities. Many of his sculptures are made with bits of scrap metal.

This statue is a memorial to World War I but the plaque honors all veterans."
