In 1959, to allow access through a new gate, the statue was moved to Poultney Town Cemetery in East Poultney. The monument is a memorial to Col. Judson A. Lewis and those who defended the Union in the Civil War. Judson graduated from Troy Conference Academy (forerunner to Green Mountain College) in 1860 before joining the army. The Monument was given to the town of Poultney in 1915 by Judson's widow.
