This week, the intrepid preservation crew at the Vicksburg National Military Park worked on the Iowa State Memorial.
The crew repainted the white granite steps and deck, replacing old mortar with new.
Six bronze panels and the mounted flagbearer on the memorial also got a new hot wax treatment.
The Iowa State Memorial now looks brand new.
If you haven’t visited the park before, we suggest you take a day and visit!
