Veteran's Memorial Park

Veterans Historical Plaza is a dedicated space in Old Town Newhall, Santa Clarita, California, designed to honor military veterans. The plaza was established through a collaborative effort between the Santa Clarita City Council and state officials in 2000.

The plaza spans approximately one-half acre and serves as a memorial to those who have served in the United States military. It features various historical elements that pay tribute to veterans from past wars and conflicts. The design of the plaza incorporates commemorative features, including a special piece of art called "Willie, the Drummer Boy," which was funded through community efforts.

In addition to its commemorative aspects, Veterans Historical Plaza also functions as a public gathering space. The city of Santa Clarita hosts annual events at the plaza, including Veterans Day ceremonies, to honor local veterans, active-duty military personnel, and their families.

The plaza is maintained by the City of Santa Clarita and is open to the public. It serves not only as a place of remembrance but also as an educational resource, with the city encouraging visitors to explore the historical elements scattered throughout the area.
