Union Monument in Vanceburg, Civil War memorial in Vanceburg, United States.

The limestone monument features a Union soldier statue in winter gear and kepi hat, standing thirty-four feet tall on the courthouse grounds.

Built in 1884, this monument lists the names of 107 Lewis County soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the Union during the Civil War.

The memorial reflects Lewis County's strong Union support during the Civil War, contrasting with Kentucky's prevalent Confederate monuments of the post-war period.

Visitors can find this monument on the Lewis County courthouse lawn, where it serves as a central point for Civil War education and commemoration.

This monument stands as the only Union memorial funded by public subscription south of the Mason-Dixon line that is not located in a cemetery.
