Confederate Monument

This monument features a bronze soldier statue standing atop a granite pedestal, located within a Civil War cemetery on the university grounds. The sculpture and its base form a unified structure visible from various points within the burial ground.

The monument was installed in 1907 by a local organization to honor fallen soldiers from the Civil War. It was moved to its current location within the cemetery grounds in 2020.

Two crossed Confederate flags engraved on the pedestal's middle section form part of the monument's design by John Stinson commemorating Civil War soldiers.

The monument sits within a cemetery space that is accessible and easy to locate on the grounds. Visitors should approach with respect, as this is a burial site where quiet reflection is appropriate.

The monument carries inscriptions recording the years 1861 to 1865 and identifying the sponsoring organization. These engravings on the stone reveal who commissioned the installation and what time period it marks.
