The updated Veterans Memorial on West 2nd Avenue between Fayette and Forrest streets in Conshohocken will open on November 9th at 6:00 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting.

The memorial dates back to 1928, when it was dedicated on what was then known as Armistice Day and is today recognized as Veterans Day.

The memorial is now part of a pocket park system that includes East 8th Avenue at Fayette (at Fritz Lodge), the 600 block of Fayette Street (between Santander Bank and Conshohocken United Methodist Church), and Weinmann Park adjacent to The Outbound Station.

In addition to the original memorial to veterans, the new pocket park at West 2nd Avenue includes “The Family” statue (which was added in 1999), a stage, a semi-covered lawn area, and seating.
