Camp Beauregard Memorial, Civil War memorial site in Water Valley, Kentucky.
The site features an eleven-foot monument and a cemetery commemorating Confederate soldiers who trained and died at this military encampment during 1861-1862.
The Confederate Army established Camp Beauregard in September 1861 to protect their right flank at Columbus, Kentucky, training between 5,000 and 6,000 soldiers.
The cemetery grounds hold significance in local traditions as a location where visitors pay respects to soldiers who succumbed to diseases during the Civil War.
The memorial site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997, includes informational markers detailing the camp's military operations and medical challenges.
During the camp's operation, a single day recorded 75 cases of typhoid and pneumonia, reflecting the severe health crisis that claimed up to 1,500 soldiers' lives.
