Lake Village Confederate Monument
Lake Village Confederate Monument, Civil War monument in Lake Village, Arkansas.
The Lake Village Confederate Monument is a marble statue depicting a soldier in motion, rifle in hand and bedroll slung across his shoulder, positioned on Lakeshore Drive. The figure stands upon a marble base located between Main and Jackson Streets.
The monument was erected in 1910 by chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and later received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1996. It commemorates those who served in the Civil War from the local region.
The monument displays inscriptions on multiple faces, including poetry and dedications to Confederate soldiers from Chicot County who served during 1861-1865.
The monument sits in a public location on Lakeshore Drive between Main and Jackson Streets, making it easily accessible on foot. Visitors can view the work at any time since it stands outdoors as a permanent installation.
The statue's original design included a cannon that operated as a fountain feature, though this element has since been removed. This water feature was once part of the monument's complete artistic composition.

Arkansas sits in the southern United States, where the Ozark and Ouachita mountains meet forested valleys and slow rivers. Away from the main highways, the state holds waterfalls hidden in national forests, abandoned settlements from mining days, and caves filled with limestone formations. Haw Creek Falls drops over a series of ledges in the Ozarks, while Blanchard Springs Caverns opens into chambers where underground streams have carved stone over thousands of years. Rush, once a zinc mining town, now stands empty along the Buffalo River. Boxley Valley offers open fields where elk graze beneath ridges, and the Cossatot River cuts through rocky rapids in the Ouachita range. These places show different chapters of the region's natural and human history. Historical sites and cultural centers add depth to the landscape. Monte Ne preserves the ruins of an early resort built beside Beaver Lake. The Hampson Archeological Museum holds artifacts from indigenous peoples who lived in the Mississippi River floodplain. Jacksonport once served as a river port on the White River, and the Delta Cultural Center documents the agricultural heritage of eastern Arkansas. From Sam's Throne, a rock outcrop with views across the Ozarks, to the old railway bridge in Clarendon, these locations lie off the usual routes and reward those who take the time to seek them out.
