At Benson Stone Company, we're proud to be a part of projects that go beyond commercial construction. Recently, we had the privilege of contributing to the LZ Peace Memorial at Midway Village Museum in Rockford, Illinois. This memorial serves as a place of honor for veterans who served our country, particularly those from Winnebago County who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War.

Our team supplied and fabricated the custom granite and limestone wall that serves as a central focal point of the memorial. The black granite provides a stark and dignified backdrop for the "Wall of Honor," which features the engraved names of fallen soldiers. This humbling message is engraved into the granite: "This memorial stands as a testimony to those soldiers from Winnebago County who made the ultimate sacrifice in a time of great conflict. They served with honor. Their courage was our greatest triumph. Their sacrifice, our greatest loss." The limestone elements add a timeless, natural touch and complement the overall design.
This project presented unique challenges. The intricate design elements demanded precise stone cutting and fabrication. Our team's expertise in working with granite and limestone ensured each piece met the exact specifications, resulting in a seamless and visually striking memorial.
Benson Stone Company understands the importance of trust and quality in commercial building projects. Supplying high-grade materials and meticulous fabrication are at the core of what we do. The LZ Peace Memorial exemplifies this commitment. We are honored to have played a role in creating a lasting tribute to our nation's heroes.
