The Soldier's Monument is a historic structure in the College Square Historic District in Davenport, Iowa, United States.

==History==
A movement to erect a monument began in 1865 when an association was created to establish a monument to President Abraham Lincoln after his assassination. The Lincoln Monument Association of Scott County, Iowa was incorporated on May 25, 1865. After six years the association collected $529.25, with the accumulated interest of $148.50, the total amount they had for the monument amounted to $707.40.〔 Nicholas Fejervary offered to donate $1,300 if the monument would be erected to Scott County’s Civil War dead instead.〔 After accepting the offer donations to the monument fund increased.
The association hired R.J. Carver of South Rydate, Vermont to design the monument. The monument association approved the design on June 5, 1880.〔 A site was chosen in the middle of Main Street between Grace Cathedral, now Trinity Cathedral, and Griswold College, now the campus of Davenport Central High School. The monument was built for $8,000.〔 It was constructed 1880-1881 and dedicated on July 4, 1881. The monument was given to the city of Davenport on January 15, 1906. At one time patriotic exercises were held at the monument each Memorial Day by the local Grand Army of the Republic post, the Loyal Legion, the Sons of Veterans, the Woman's Relief Corps and other patriotic organizations.〔
