The site also features a well preserved German Howitzer, captured during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of 1918, one of the bloodiest battles in United States history. The memorial wall lists the names of veterans who served overseas, while the obelisk lists those who died during their service. The Adair County Veterans Memorial Plaza consists of a large memorial wall and stone obelisk.
