Mooresville Veterans Memorial

Residents of Morgan County are well known for their veneration of military veterans, and Mooresville folks are no exception.

The Mooresville Veterans Memorial was originally created in the late 1940s on the campus of Newby Elementary School to honor those who had fallen in World Wars I and II.

Since that time, the Mooresville schools have worked with local veterans to maintain and update the memorial in honor of those who serve and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Former Mooresville resident and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Sammy L. Davis is also honored at the site.

Ceremonies are held on the campus every Memorial Day and Veterans Day at 11a.m.

The memorial is located at 210 Memorial Drive in Mooresville.
