Fort Willingham Armory
& the 115th Signal Battalion
The town of Florence
has created a “Memorial Grove” on the site of the former National
Guard Armory, on Florence Blvd where it becomes Tennessee Street (NE
of Florence Cemetery). A monument there honors Police and Fire
Heroes. There was previously a “115th Signal Battalion”
marker (see page 2, Signs of the Past
) . It has been repositioned near the U.S.flagpole where it is
more visible from Florence Blvd.
On November 2, 2013, a
new historical marker was added to commemorate the Fort Willingham
National Guard Armory
