Turner Ashby Monument, Civil War memorial site in Harrisonburg, United States.
The monument is a granite structure with a rectangular shaft and pyramidal top set on a limestone base in a maintained park. It stands at the end of Turner Ashby Lane, occupying a dedicated space within a public area.
The monument was erected in 1898 to commemorate Confederate Colonel Turner Ashby, who died during the Battle of Good's Farm in June 1862. This event was significant to the region's Civil War history.
The dedication ceremony in 1898 drew 5,000 attendees who walked in a mile-long procession from the Rockingham County Courthouse.
The site is easy to locate at the end of Turner Ashby Lane and offers a quiet place to visit. The memorial sits in a public park that is accessible during daylight hours.
Local citizens and organizations from Rockingham County funded the monument, demonstrating grassroots support for commemorating this history. The granite was sourced from Petersburg stone masonry companies.
