Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, Monument Square

In the heart of Portland, Maine, Monument Square marks a crossroads between old and new. Once called Market Square, it has long been a central point in the city. Today, office buildings, cafés, and the main library line its edges. At the center stands a statue commemorating Portland’s Civil War dead. With its mix of history and daily activity, the square remains a familiar place where locals meet, pass through, or simply pause for a moment.

The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument stands in the center of Monument Square in honor of the men of Portland who died in the American Civil War. The monument was dedicated on October 28, 1891, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 1, 1998.
