Iron Bridge

 

Location:  Algoma District     N 46.27945   W -83.22303

In Tally-Ho Park, west side of Main Street, north of the Trans Canada Highway.

 

This memorial is found in the village of Iron Bridge, but represents the Township of Huron Shores, known as the Huron Shores Memorial.  It is a large grey granite wall listing the names of those from this township lost in the World Wars.  The setting is a quiet Tally Ho Park, located just off the busy Trans Canada Highway, providing a pleasant place to stop and enjoy the peaceful Mississagi River and to pay respects to the fallen.  The Legion Branch 182 in nearby Thessalon hosts the Remembrance Day ceremony at this memorial.
