Committee members working on creating a Veterans Memorial in Worthington Park in Humboldt include (l to r): Ariel Echevarria, Vicki Schwint, Scott Zipse, Dean Ewoldt, Daryle Zweifel, Ron Rasmussen and David Scholl. Paul Yost is also a committee member. Humboldt Independent photo.

A rough drawing of what the Humboldt Veterans Memorial will look like when it’s built at the southwest corner of Worthington Park along Highway 169 in Humboldt. Graphic illustration submitted.

Fundraising is now underway for a new Humboldt Veterans Memorial to be located in the southwest corner of Worthington Park in Humboldt.
The location is adjacent to heavily traveled Highway 169 South, across from Miller’s Landing.
Plans call for polished granite stones (4” by 8” pavers) with the name of the Veteran, branch of service and years served sandblasted into the stone. Veterans killed in action will be on a larger (8” by 8”) darker polished granite stone. Stones being used are made in the United States. They also hope to have special stones to recognize the VFW and American Legion posts.
There will be an arched entryway at the southwest corner, plus an eight foot wide sidewalk around the exterior with access ramps on the south and west sides. Plans call for the Humboldt Veterans Memorial to be 49’ by 49’ with a U.S flag, unknown soldier flag and the state of Iowa flag. Soldier statues may also be a part of the memorial.
