The 2011
Lynn Haven Centennial Ornament.
Lynn Haven was established in January 1911 as the last of three "Union Colonies
in the Confederate South". It was promoted by the Grand Army of the
Republic Civil War Veterans' organization. Hundreds of Union
Veterans came to make St. Andrews Bay their new home. Although the
Soldier Monument was first dedicated in February 1921 "to all those
Union Soldiers living and dead" of the Civil War, it was rededicated in 1959 to
all U.S Veterans of all wars who gave their lives in battle for our country.
The Soldier Monument located at 8th St. & Georgia Avenue is a
proud symbol of the 100+ years of the community of Lynn Haven.
