Veterans Plaza serves as a memorial to veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars, and was erected in 1983 through the Jefferson City Veterans Council and through private donations on a site provided by Jefferson City. In 2006, the memorial was moved to its current location in front of the Jefferson City Police Department, 401 Monroe St.
