This
Butler County monument stands proudly at the 1790's site of Fort
Hamilton, right along the banks of the Great Miami River. It honors
those who have fought and served for our country as well as those who
first settled
in Butler County. Notable features of the monument are colorful
windows and two large displays that honor the service of the men and
women during the Civil War. Other military displays are housed within
the monument. On the temple dome stands a 17-foot, 3,500-pound bronze
statue created by Roudolph Theim, titled "Victory,"
representing a Civil War private "Billy Yank" raising his
cap in celebration of victory in the war.
