A granite monument memorializing a veteran of the War of 1812 and nine veterans from the Civil War interred in the Dravo Cemetery. This cemetery is at the site of a village that no longer exists. The only way to reach the memorial is to walk 2 miles from the village of Buena Vista along the Boston Trail section of the Great Allegheny Passage. The church was destroyed by a fire in 1924. The last burial was in 1942. This portion of the trail follows the course of the scenic Youghigheny River.
