John C. Breckinridge Memorial
John C. Breckinridge Memorial, Bronze statue at the courthouse lawn in Lexington, United States
The bronze memorial depicts John C. Breckinridge in a standing position on a granite pedestal, created by Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company in 1887.
The monument honors John C. Breckinridge, who served as Vice President under James Buchanan and later became Secretary of War for the Confederate States.
The memorial represents Kentucky's political influence during the Civil War period and its connection to both Union and Confederate histories.
Visitors can locate the memorial at the Lexington Cemetery in Section G, following its relocation from the courthouse grounds in 2017.
The state government of Kentucky funded this memorial 24 years before the construction of the adjacent John Hunt Morgan Memorial.
