The World War I Doughboy Memorial that stands in front of the Armory in Elkton was dedicated in 1921 at the courthouse, which was then at the northeast corner of Main and North streets. At the end of the 1930s, the county made plans to build an expanded courthouse and turned over the old courthouse to the Elkton town commissioners. Just before World War II started, the town tore down the 18th century structure and the Vermont marble memorial was relocated from its original site to its present location in 1941. The carved inscription recognizes the people of Cecil County who served and died in the Great War.
