Confederate Monument in Georgetown
Confederate Monument in Georgetown, Civil War memorial in Georgetown Cemetery, Kentucky.
The granite obelisk monument rises twenty feet tall and features relief carvings of cannons, muskets, drums, flags, and military equipment.
The Ladies Monument Association and women of Scott County initiated the memorial's construction in 1888, surrounding it with eighteen reinterred Confederate soldiers.
Scott County provided 1,000 Confederate troops during the Civil War, with the monument reflecting the regional sentiments and memorialization practices of Kentucky.
Visitors can locate the monument within Georgetown Cemetery, where it stands as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property collection.
Two of the eighteen soldiers buried around the monument were victims of Order 59, which demanded executions of Confederate prisoners for Union civilian deaths.
