Isaac Lothrop Prouty Memorial Park was originally presented to the Town of Spencer in 1905 by the heirs of Isaac Lothrop Prouty himself following his unexpected passing. It was his daughter Emma and her Husband Myron A. Young, who announced that they would follow through with his plans to create a park for the Town of Spencer. Within two years, members of the G.A.R. Post started the process of erecting a monument, and on Patriots Day, 1911, the Soldiers` Monument that you see today was erected. Soldiers` Monument serves as a memorial to the 319 Spencer Men who served in the Civil War with their names listed on the sides. In 1939, thirteen memorial trees were also planted on the park grounds to remember the men who died in service during WWI.
