The Halifax County War Memorial honors men and women who served in wars from the American Revolution to Desert Storm. Seven hundred thirty-four soldiers from Halifax County, Virginia, made the ultimate sacrifice. Their names appear on the memorial to ensure future generations remember their bravery.

The memorial features a black granite monument as its centerpiece, engraved with the names of the fallen. A white pre-cast concrete structure surrounds the monument, complete with columns and a dome. This design honors those from Halifax County and Virginia who served in American wars. The memorial lists residents who died in action, from illness, or in accidents during wartime, even if not in combat zones.

Checks should be payable to Halifax County Treasurer and sent to County Administration, P.O. Box 699, Halifax, VA 24558. Please include your contact information with your donation.
