The Milford Monument can be found at the junction of County Road’s 29 and 11 in the charming community of New Ulm, Minnesota. The monument was created to commemorate all 53 of the Milford Township settlers who were ambushed and killed on the 18th of August, in the U.S. – Dakota War of 1862. Milford sustained the highest number of casualties during the conflict, with most of their survivors escaping to New Ulm. The monument is a cross made out of stone with a plaque displaying the settlers’ names that lost their lives on that fateful day. Also featured is a woman figure symbolizing Mercury – the ancient Roman god of many things including travelers.
