About This Memorial

The Adams County Veterans Memorial is an architectural tribute located in Riverdale Regional Park, designed to honor the valor and sacrifice of those who have defended the nation throughout history. Its centerpiece is a near life-size replica of the USS Colorado, jutting into Mann-Nyholt Lake. The memorial features marble monuments for each military branch, sandblasted plaques with presidential quotes, a story wall sharing soldiers' lives from local residents, and a concrete map marking veterans' memorials across Adams County. It commemorates service members from all branches of the U.S. military, though specific wars are not mentioned. The design blends symbolic elements with personal narratives to create a multifaceted tribute to veterans.
