“ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY”
This Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Monument was dedicated in 1927. The Monument consists of two 60 foot granite pylons. These pillars mark the entrance to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. This beautiful boulevard leads from Logan Circle through the rolling Parkway Gardens on up the hill to the Philadelphia Art Museums.

Meanwhile, thanks to the citizens and public officials of Philly for this tribute to American history and the work of Hermon Atkins MacNeil.
Happy Birthday Rachel!
