Confederate Memorial in Nicholasville, Civil War memorial at courthouse grounds in Nicholasville, United States.
The Confederate Memorial features an 11-foot granite pedestal with a 7-foot bronze statue of a soldier carrying a knapsack and wearing a kepi hat.
The Jefferson Oxley-led Jessamine County Memorial Association initiated the monument project in 1880, purchasing a modified Union soldier statue for completion in 1896.
The memorial displays inscriptions from 'Bivouac of the Dead' on all four sides of the pedestal, reflecting post-Civil War sentiments in the American South.
The monument stands at the intersection of North Main Street and West Maple Street, near 101 North Main Street in downtown Nicholasville, Kentucky.
The statue began as a Union soldier monument but underwent modifications to represent a Confederate soldier due to financial constraints during construction.
