The Charles Groulx Monument was presented to the City of Ogdensburg by American Legion Hanbidge Post 69. The monument and park were dedicated in 1933, in honor of Charles A. Groulx, the first soldier from Ogdensburg to be killed in World War I. The ten-foot-high monument is a cairn resembling historic markers in Canada, made of cobblestones set in the shape of a pyramid. Groulx was one of many young men from Ogdensburg who served their country during the Great War.
