Treue der Union Monument, Civil War memorial in Comfort, Texas
A limestone obelisk monument measuring twenty feet in height stands at the intersection of Second and High Streets, weighing 35,700 pounds.
In 1862, Confederate forces killed German-American Union supporters during the Nueces massacre, leading to the monument's construction in 1866.
The monument includes four name tablets in German text, reflecting the strong German heritage of the Texas Hill Country settlers.
The Texas Historical Commission maintains this monument, which remains open for public viewing throughout the year without entrance fees.
This structure holds the distinction of being the only Civil War monument in Texas dedicated to Union supporters and contains remains of those killed.
