What it was Like: The Monument sit on the USM campus as you had in you can still read the names of the Man how died in the war or after they came home most were just young man from ages of 16 to 30. The Monument it self has a a granite bottom and a marble top were the names are. It is cool to look at what the names that of the men that gave them self to keep the us together. Why it is Historical: The Civil War Soldiers’ Monument in front was the gift to the town of Gorham of Toppan Robie (Frederick Robie’s father and the first Robie in Gorham), from whom the town had acquired the meeting house. Its cost was $2,000. He was a trustee of Gorham Academy for fifty years and was a large contributor to the town and the Congregational Church as well as to the Academy. It was all so one of the first Civil war Monument in the North.
