Field of Honor -  Unity Walkway

 

The Unity Walkway was officially unveiled April 28, 2019 during the Living History Weekend. The 155th anniversary of the battle.

This is a joint North/South walkway. The left side of the walk leading to the monument from the parking lot contains edge stones containing the names of the Union units and the right side has edge stones for the Confederate units. The bricks in the walkway are intermingled both North & South, symbolically showing both sides coming together; hence the name Unity Walkway.

The brick inscriptions are not limited to soldiers who served at the Battle of Plymouth. There are special inscriptions on the bricks of those who served at Plymouth so those individuals can be recognized. The Union bricks contain the G.A.R. Star and the Confederate bricks the Iron Cross.

It is never too late to participate!

Although the Unity Walkway is a joint effort between our society and the Washington County Historical Society, they are taking the lead. They will be handling all of the brick orders, installation and upkeep.

Please let them know if the soldier you are requesting a brick for served at the Battle of Plymouth.

Unfortunately due to increased costs, the price per brick is now $75.

The Unity Walkway takes the Field of Honor to another level. There are a lot of ideas bouncing around for future improvements of the Field of Honor. Some ideas include a flag pole, benches, landscape, etc. If you have any ideas that could make the Field of Honor a more peaceful and respectful park, please let us know.
