The dedication for the monument was part of a weekend-long celebration associated with Stokes County's Bicentennial. The weekend included reenactors from around North Carolina dressed in Civil War attire who camped out at a local park, a parade, and a cannon salute when the monument was revealed. About 200 Stokes County members were present for the event. Live music was played before and after the ceremony on restored instruments from Danbury's 1880s Coronet Band.
The monument is located northeast of the intersection of Main Street and Courthouse Circle in Danbury, North Carolina. It stands on the grounds of the Stokes County Courthouse (1012 Main Street Danbury, NC 27016). The Stokes County World War I Monument is in front and in line with the Confederate memorial.
The monument stands in a grass area to the west of the courthouse. Although trees are located near the location of the monument, there is no decorative landscaping surrounding the monument, itself.
