Memorial Arch
The Memorial Arch was built in 1924 to honor the brave
soldiers from Cabell County, WV who were killed in action in the 1st. World
War.
Also in November of 2000 a Time Capsule was buried only
to be open on November 11, 2050 (Veterans Day).
Along with the arch there were trees planted along
Memorial Boulevard extending from Fifth Street West to Thirteenth Street
West.
They were planted along the North and South side of the
Boulevard. Each tree stands for one of the soldiers that was killed in
action.
Trees bearing odd numbers are planted on the South side
and trees bearing the even numbers are planted on the North side of the
Boulevard.
The name following the number is the name of the
solider to whom the tree is dedicated.
