When you speak of the town wanting to "preserve the monument" I would wonder - preserve it from what? Decay, vandalism, removal, development?
As in the case of the small historical markers, the best program has been local volunteerism coupled with donations from local business. Considering the state of the world economy, it might be something best done on a local level.

I just received a call from one of our town supervisors regarding the Stone
Arabia Battlefield monument.  The town would like to preserve the monument
and possibly erect some signage providing information on the Battle of Stone
Arabia.  Are there any grants available that would help the town to preserve
a vital part of its history?
