SPANISH AMERICAN WAR MEMORIAL


Memorial reads:IN MEMORIAM UNITED SPANISH WAR VETERANS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY 1898 - 1902
I visited this memorial on Tuesday, March 12, 2008. This memorial is located in Deering Oaks Park in Portland between Forest Ave. and State St. It is a tribute to all the soldiers from Cumberland County who fought in the Spanish American War.
OBSERVATIONS: The memorial situated on the left side of the road of State St. before coming to Park Ave. is in good condition. The stand that the statue is erected on is a little tarnished with road scum coming from the street and cars passing by. The area is clean, yet at the time is was early March and was covered with mud and melting snow.
