The Goldboro Cenotaph was erected in 1999. It was constructed by Arsenault Monuments from Antigonish and made possible by the generous donations of numerous members of the community. The walkway was built by several community members.

This cenotaph replaces the cairn that was erected in 1968. The cairn was made of beach stone and had a two-tiered concrete base.
