Fisher Veterans' Memorial Park is located at 521 South 9th Street in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. This park is free to visit and is open to the public from dawn to dusk. Throughout the park you'll find several very nice veteran's memorials honoring our heroes who fought in various wars. This park hosts patriotic events throughout the year.
The park is relatively small in size compared to other parks. At the southern end of the park you'll find a large M-60 military tank. As you walk through the park you'll see various war memorials honorning the men and women who fought in the Korean War, Gulf War, the Spanish War, Vietnam War, etc. The park was established to honor the men who fought and died in these wars from Lebanon County.
Park is well-maintained with walking paths and is situated on 1.2 acres. One of the most famous statues in the park is called the "Hiker" who honors veterans from 3 turn of the century conflicts such as the Spanish-American War. It was dedicated on September 7th, 1940. (see the photos below).
One of the things I really liked about visiting the park is how peaceful the park is. There's several park benches along the walking paths and near various memorials that you can sit down on. It's nice to just sit and reflect on what America means to you. Freedom is not free! Men and women give up their lives for this country!!!
If you're going to be in Lebanon and want to honor some of our veterans....stop by Fisher Veterans' Memorial Park to pay your respects. If you're interested in attending any of the patriotic events that are hosted there...contact the city or Lebanon County to request a schedule of upcoming events.
