Unknown Confederate Soldier Monument in Horse Cave
Unknown Confederate Soldier Monument in Horse Cave, Civil War memorial in Horse Cave, US.
The Unknown Confederate Soldier Monument stands 12 feet tall with a square base made of Tennessee geodes filled with crystals in Hart County.
Built in 1934 by Sam Lively, this monument marks the grave of a soldier from the 11th Louisiana Infantry who died from an accidental rifle discharge.
The monument serves as a central point for Civil War remembrance events and features a Confederate Naval Jack flag on its grounds.
The monument sits on private property but remains accessible through an evergreen-lined path near the Old Dixie Highway between Horse Cave and Interstate 65.
Unlike traditional limestone or marble monuments, this memorial incorporates geodes from Tennessee, creating a distinct crystalline structural element.
