Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument, Civil War memorial structure in Garfield Park, Indianapolis, United States.
The granite Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument stands 35 feet tall and extends 20 feet wide at the south entrance of Garfield Park.
The monument moved to Garfield Park in 1928 from its original location at Greenlawn Cemetery, where it was first dedicated in 1911.
The structure commemorates 1,616 Confederate soldiers and sailors who died at Camp Morton, one of the largest Union prison camps during the Civil War.
Following public discussions and community concerns, the monument was removed on June 8, 2020, with plans to relocate it to a museum setting.
This memorial represented one of the few Confederate monuments in Indiana, a state that fought for the Union during the American Civil War.
