WELCOME TO THE
NELSON COUNTY VETERANS PARK

to the most recent global conflicts,
our men and women and have responded to calls to protect our country.

Nelson County Citizens have always shown pride in these those who have served,
honoring them with a tradition of respect, honor, and appreciation. 

To continue and expand this tradition of honor, 
a group of Veterans and Citizens have come together
to establish the Nelson County Veterans Park.
Our goal is to provide a place to remember, respect,
and honor those who have served, fought,
and those who have given their all, in conflicts around the globe.
“Our debt to the heroic men and women
In the service of our country
can never be repaid. 
They have earned our undying gratitude.
America will never forget their sacrifices.”
