Description: The rock holds a significant place within the Lucas County Veterans Memorial Park. Each of Iowa's rocks takes inspiration from the unique histories of the counties they reside in, and skillfully depicts these narratives. Collectively, they stand as a poignant tribute to the brave veterans of Iowa across all generations, emanating gratitude from both the artist and the individuals and organizations that commission his work. Lucas County's tale unfolds on the northwest face, where a touching portrayal of a Civil War soldier is accompanied by a mourning ribbon representing Chariton's Daniel Iseminger Post No. 18, Grand Army of the Republic. This solemn image serves as a poignant reminder of the approximately 800 young men from Lucas County who courageously enlisted in the Civil War, with sadly around 150 of them losing their lives in service. The Lucas County Freedom Rock, along with its accompanying stories, stands as a timeless tribute to these gallant heroes and their invaluable sacrifices.
