The 15th Reg. Mass.
Volunteers Lion Monument. This monument is located in the western part of
the West Woods and is accessible only by walking through an unidentified
path through the woods or on the Rt 65 bypass which is outside the park.
This marks the deepest penetration by the Union forces during the West
