A Place of Honor at the Heart of Buford

The Great Lawn of the Buford Community Center

The Buford Veterans Memorial will be built on the great lawn of the Buford Community Center — a central, welcoming gathering place already at the heart of community life in Buford.

It’s a fitting home. This is where neighbors already come together: for events, for recreation, for everyday life in this city. Now it will also be where Buford comes together to remember.

2200 Buford Hwy NE, Suite 108 Buford, GA 30518

Why This Location

A memorial’s location matters as much as its design. Tucked away, it becomes easy to forget. Placed where the community already gathers, it becomes part of daily life — seen, visited, and remembered.

The great lawn of the Buford Community Center puts the memorial in constant view of the people it honors and the people it’s built for: families attending community events, students on school visits, and residents going about their everyday routines. It transforms a quiet walk across the lawn into a moment of reflection and gratitude.

A Place Built for Visiting

The memorial is being designed as a true public gathering space — easy to reach, easy to walk through, and open to everyone in the community. Whether you’re stopping by for a few quiet minutes or attending a planned ceremony, the location is designed to welcome visitors of all ages.

This will be a destination for:

Veterans Day & Memorial Day Ceremonies

Family Outings & Community Events

School Trips & Educational Visits

Personal Moments & Quiet Reflection

Visit, Reflect, and Help Us Build It

Once complete, the Buford Veterans Memorial will be open for the whole community to experience, free of charge, for generations to come. Until then, we invite you to follow our progress and help us bring it to life.
