Statement of Significance

Built sometime in the 1920s the Cora Lynn war memorial is significant to the locality of Cora Lynn, as one of the few early public structures in this small town and hence (with the store and butter factory) aids in demarcating the town itself. The memorial is significant for its reflection of the effects on the community of the Great War; its landmark quality and the application of stone craftsmanship.
