| Additional Information: | 2023 - Greenwood Cemetery was established on the north side of Reedsburg in 1855 and initially included five acres on a hilly site for all the denominations. Later, another five acres were added. The local Grand Army of the Republic post raised funds in 1891 to erect a large statue commemorating soldiers who served in the Civil War. The 27-foot stone statue was produced by the J.H. Anderson Granite Company and was the first civil war monument in Sauk County. |
