Marysville - Wolfe Island



Location:  Frontenac County   N 44° 11.598 W 076° 26.440
On the north side of Main Street, in front of the Wolfe Island Town Hall.

This memorial, the only one on Wolfe Island, was erected in 1994 by the Township of Wolfe Island.  The township was expanded in 1998 to include the Township of Howe and several small islands in the vicinity, now known as the Township of Frontenac Islands.  The Township Hall itself is a National Historic Site, with its own interpretive plaque.
