Freedom Park Benches

Freedom Park Benches are a way to honor or memorialize a Veteran at the Lake Cherokee Freedom Park by including their name on a black granite park bench.  Four benches are available.  The two pairs of benches will be placed on the lakeside.  Benches will face each other at a diagonal and also face the lake.  Each bench back will hold 8 veteran names and service information.  Engraved names will be viewable from the water.  The benches will be ordered from Camp County Monuments which will fabricate and install the benches.  This offer is first being offered to those donors on our waitlist and then, we will open up to Lake residents with the goal of selling 32 names to fill the 4 benches.
