Marches and drills for volunteer Union soldiers were held at the park beginning in April of 1861. On September 20, 1939, a Civil War cannon was donated by W.R.C. It was unveiled by Jane Kress whose mother gave a hand-sewn flag to departing Civil War soldiers.

This marker was dedicated on June 17, 1997 during a ceremony which included a pie and ice cream social. Restroom facilities for the park were completed in December of 1992.
