5. Edward Driver Horse Trough
This horse trough was dedicated to Riverside by the family of Edward Driver, the village's president in the late 1800s. Driver also owned the Riverside Hotel, which burned down in 1887, and afterwards erected a commercial building, known as the Driver Block, that is still standing across the street from this memorial. The Riverside Railroad Depot to the north can be seen in the distance on the right.
