1. Armory Park Marker
This park is dedicated to the patriotism of the citizens of the cities and towns of Essex County. This walkway contains the names of some of those citizens whose names are most honored, but they are representative of all those who have served their communities in times of need. Their names, and the names of the units in which they served, form a walkway of honor and remembrance.
Eastern Bank, a part of the local community, is proud to honor these individuals by helping to sponsor this park and walkway, its dedication, and maintenance.
Erected by Eastern Bank.
