Davis County Veterans Memorial
Farmington, Davis County · Utah
Farmington's courthouse is called the Memorial Courthouse for what sits inside it. When Davis County enlarged the 1890 building in 1932, the design set aside space for a stained-glass window: a victorious angel above a soldier and sailor raising the flag over a globe. Its inscription honors county men from the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and Philippine campaign, the First World War, and the Black Hawk War — the Ute and Timpanog resistance to Mormon settlement that the glass calls, less honestly, 'Indian Troubles.' Its 1929 wing now sits on the National Register.
