Commemorative Statues, Columns and Markers

Freestanding commemorative statues, columns and memorial markers this atlas records under Monuments, Towers and Commemorative Structures, honoring an individual or an event outside a specifically military or wartime context: among them Pocomoke Farm, now the Makemie Monument Park, whose defining feature is a 1907 memorial marker and family cemetery honoring the Presbyterian founder Francis Makemie. Belongs here: any commemorative statue, column or memorial marker this subcategory records. Does not belong here: a war memorial or military cemetery, gathered under this subcategory's own War Memorials, Military Cemeteries and Camps group instead.
