The Borough of Conshohocken held a ribbon-cutting on November 9th at the updated Veterans Memorial at West 2nd Avenue and Fayette Street. Participating were borough officials and members of the VFW Post 1074 Conshohocken.

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.
