What) We went through the nearly vacant Commons Mall and into the large commons area that contained some unusual limestone pillars. This is the Bartholomew County Veteran's Memorial, designed by Maryann Thompson Architects in 1997. It consists of 25 limestone pillars, each 40-feet tall. The names of 172 veterans from the county that lost their lives are engraved in the stones. (1)

    Where) Adjacent to 234 Washington Street (on your left between 2nd and 3rd Street before Washington Street)

    Why) Somehow, it seemed appropriate to visit this place.
