About This Memorial

Bell Rock Memorial Park in Malden, Massachusetts features 'The Flag Defenders,' a bronze Civil War memorial sculpture by Bela Pratt depicting three military figures guarding the American flag. The park commemorates Malden's Civil War soldiers and also includes a World War II memorial. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. in 1910, the park's layout highlights the memorial at its highest point. The site holds historical significance as the location of Malden's earliest meeting houses, with the bell that gave the rock its name used to summon worshippers in the 17th century.
