"Civil War Monument Presented to the town in 1905 by Col. Silas A. Ilsley, this granite monument stands at the head of Merchants Row over one of the old Middlebury fire protection cisterns (rendered obsolete when a village water system was installed in 1902). It is said that this gift from a relative newcomer to the town spurred Col. Joseph Battell to present a counter monument, an elaborate cast-iron public fountain (removed in 1938 and replaced with a similar one in 1976) in the corner of the Green known as Triangle Park at the other end of Merchants Row." from: http://midddigital.middlebury.edu/walking_history/village_tour/page...
