The LOAMMI BEAN FOUNTAIN

Note the horse drinking from the fountain.

Laommi Bean was with the 8th NH Regiment and was killed at the Battle of Georgia Landing in Louisiana in 1862. His daughter erected this monument in tribute to "All the gallant soldiers....so that the Union might be preserved." It was dedicated in 1894.
The MEMORIAL ROCK

CLICK HERE TO SUPER-SIZE and see the muskets.
The boulder was inscribed in 1882 to the NH Volunteer Regiments. It was surrounded in 1883 by a fence with pickets of cast iron muskets. Cornerposts are vertical cannons topped with cannonballs!
