Fun Fact About Us
On May 30, 1888, at a Memorial Day service, William Allen Butler, a Yonkers lawyer and poet, suggested a monument to remember the Yonkers soldiers who had fought to preserve the union during the Civil War.
His vision was realized three years later, when the the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument was dedicated on the grounds of Philipse Manor Hall SHS, which, at the time, was acting as Yonkers City Hall.
