Constructed 1991.
Located in front of City Hall you will find Artesia’s Baish Veterans Park. The original memorial site was dedicated in 1991. In 2012, Artesia MainStreet teamed up with the City of Artesia and local veterans in creating a design that enhanced Baish Veterans Park with the installation of the Freedom’s Fire bronze statue, flag holders and a Wall of Honor displaying names of Veterans in their community- past and present. This park is a place for remembrance, honor, reflection, and communicates that the community of Artesia cherishes the sacrifices and dedication to all veterans.
