General Felix K. Zollicoffer Monument

The General Felix K. Zollicoffer Monument is a limestone obelisk standing near Nancy and was built to remember soldiers who died in battle. The inscriptions carved into the stone provide information about those who fell at this location.

The monument honors General Zollicoffer, who died in 1862 during a battle after accidentally moving toward enemy positions. The obelisk was built afterward to preserve the memory of the battle and those who fell.

The monument sits in a place where visitors come to remember the fallen and understand a chapter of local history. It shows how communities after the war expressed their respect through lasting stone structures.

The monument sits near State Highway 235 and is relatively easy to reach for visitors exploring the battle site. Those wanting to explore the wider area will find other historical locations and points of interest nearby.

Near the stone there once stood an old oak tree that became an important symbol for the community. For many years it received flowers and decorations in remembrance, until it was destroyed by lightning.
