Description: Positioned with its front facing the road, the rock proudly showcases a remarkable Iowan named Calvin Titus, who achieved the Medal of Honor at a tender age during the Battle of Peking in China's Boxer Rebellion. Notably, Calvin served as a trumpeter in the 14th infantry, and his brave actions earned him this prestigious honor. You can find this meaningful monument situated next to the American Legion in Shellsburg, IA. The Benton County Freedom Rock stands as a powerful testament to the valor and sacrifice of Calvin Titus and serves as a symbol of pride for the community, honoring their local hero and the legacy of his courageous service.
