Veterans Memorial Re-dedication

Join Sherwood July 4th at 1:30pm as they re-dedicate the Veterans Memorial Monument that has stood proudly over the entrance of the Sherwood Cemetery since the early 1900's. The statue was moved to a new pedestal, closer to the entrance of the cemetery for all to view as they pass through our village. So stop by for a wonderful afternoon event in Sherwood July 4th.

 

The ceremony will include entertainment by the Culver Military Band, Area Church Choir and more. Refreshments will be served following the ceremony at the old school grounds next to the cemetery.
