Finding Heroes Park in Somonauk
In
addition to it’s function as a park,
Finding Heroes Park
in Somonauk serves a learning tool about
navigation and is a micro monument to 124,917 American
armed forces personnel buried in 24 foreign cemeteries
and 94,000 missing in action or buried at sea.
The Park was planned and constructed on a 2
acre site in Somonauk by retired farmer Tom
Warren. He donated the park to the village after
construction was completed.
A stranger in Somonauk may not be aware of it’s
presence as it is located in a residential
subdivision in the NW corner of the village. It
is well worth the effort to make a trip
dedicated to visiting this outdoor classroom and
tribute to our fallen
heroes in a beautiful park setting. Click the
