About This Memorial

The Veterans Memorial in Lincoln Park commemorates military service members, prominently featuring a full-size replica of the Liberty Bell. This replica, one of 53 cast in France in 1950, was donated by American industry and originally displayed in the Capitol before being relocated to the park in 1986 for the U.S. bicentennial. Lincoln Park itself is part of Denver's Civic Center, designated a National Historic Landmark in 2013 for its significance in the City Beautiful movement.

"Very nice park right by the state Capitol. But park is full of addicts and someone injecting themselves with things in front of children. There was also trash, syringes, and tents everywhere. What a shame on the state and city leaders, this park is beautiful and should be respected and well kept"

"Came to Colorado Freedom Memorial to pay my respects to the fallen of my state. This is a very beautiful memorial! The zigzagging plexiglass and steel wall is etched with names, in no apparent order. There's a binder, easy to access, with the names in alphabetical order to explain where on the wall a particular name is located. Near the wall are eight red granite rectangular pillars, one for each country's American cemeteries of WWII dead. France, Netherlands, Philippines, England, Luxembourg...with the number of Colorado dead in each one. An incredible number are buried in the Philippines. There is a spacious covered picnic pavilion. There are restrooms, but they're locked. There is an interactive kiosk next to the stand where the binder is, but it didn't work. The flags were at half-staff."

About This Memorial

The Buffalo Soldier Memorial at F.E. Warren Air Force Base commemorates the African-American cavalry regiments 9th and 10th Cavalry and infantry units like the 24th Infantry who served at Fort Russell in the early 1900s. The memorial features a striking statue of a buffalo soldier holding a rifle, symbolizing their vigilance and honorable service during the Western frontier era. These soldiers earned their nickname from Native Americans who respected their bravery and likened their appearance to buffaloes. The memorial honors their role in peacekeeping missions and shaping the American West, bridging the gap between the Civil War's 54th Massachusetts and WWII's Tuskegee Airmen in African-American military history.

"Small, but very nice, memorial to the Buffalo Soldiers who helped build the local area. Also, historical plaques outlining the military history of Cheyenne from 1867 to the present are on site. Street parking only, but it’s in a quiet neighborhood down the street from F.E. Warren."
