About this Exploration: ![]() To find the names, the Allen County Historical Museum (ACHM) has a notebook with the list and locations of all names. (ACHM is located directly west of the memorial on the corner of Washington and Madison Avenues.)
Veteran's Day is remembered annually in November and includes Prisoner of War/Missing in Action remembrances, taps, air crafts, a parade, a picnic and patriotic music. Iola's show of respect for local and national veterans is a must see.
![]() Merchants on the south side of the Iola Square say there is never a day in which they don't see folks looking at the memorial. Most of the cars that stop are travelers passing through town on U.S. Highway 54. The site is quite impressive and worth a stop!
The War Memorial and Veteran's Day event is located on the south side of the courthouse square along Madison Avenue.
CITF/PRIDE, along with the Kiwanis and veterans group, are selling banners for the big light poles around the square in order to raise money to fix some of the deterioration of the wall.
These banners be hung from October 15th to November 15 to honor our veterans. Check into how you can buy a banner for your love one. Call Carla at city hall....620-365-4900.
