In 1919, the Massachusetts state legislature passed a bill that authorized the city of Lowell to obtain land and expend funds for the erection and maintenance of a public building in the city to be known as the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. The building was to be “dedicated to the men and women of Lowell who were in the service of the country in the wars in which the United States has been engaged.” The legislation also provided that in addition to a performance hall, the building should have suitable offices and spaces for the support of Lowell’s veterans and to display historic artifacts and plaques honoring those veterans. The cornerstone was laid on September 25, 1920, and the building opened on September 21, 1922.

The entry foyer, known as the Hall of Flags, contains many artifacts that honor and memorialize those who served in the military forces of the United States during time of war, including several bronze tablets that list those servicemembers who died during wartime.

In honor of Veterans Day, and to bring more attention to those from Lowell who made the supreme sacrifice, each day this week I will post a list of those who are named on these LMA tablets starting today with the American Civil War:
