More than a Park
Of all the parks Fairmont has to offer, one stands apart from the rest. The Martin County Veterans Memorial features an 80′ black granite wall inscribed with names of Martin County veterans. A bronze statue of a war widow receiving her flag stands in front. New bronze statues of the different branches and conflicts are being added and will line a path through the trees to the newly restored Bell Cobra Helicopter. This is a unique and important piece of history that has been meticulously restored for public viewing. This memorial is continuing to grow and develop and is an important connection to Fairmont’s past and its citizens who served.
