I visited an unexpected memorial OTD in 2008—that you’d expect in Washington DC, not along the Indiana/Illinois border.

A grand, circular columned monument with a domed roof is situated at the end of a manicured lawn, surrounded by trees.A statue of a historical figure stands prominently in front of murals and an inscription that reads GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN EFFECTED.A historical monument stands in the background with a cannon and cannonballs displayed on a paved path in a well-maintained park.
