37th Massachusetts Infantry

The 37th Massachusetts monument is located on Sedgwick Avenue, along with the rest of Eustis’s brigade. The monument stands approximately 100 yards in front of where the line of battle was. The monument consists of a carved tree stumped draped with a soldier’s equipment.

Like most Massachusetts monuments, detailed inscriptions are not found.

The 37th came from the counties of Berkshire, Hampden, and Hampshire. Their commander was Col. Oliver Edwards (1835-1904). After the War, he served as the Mayor of Warsaw, Illinois.
