Confederate Monument in Owensboro
Confederate Monument in Owensboro, Civil War memorial at Owensboro, United States
The Confederate Monument stands at 16 feet tall, with a bronze soldier statue mounted on a granite pedestal displaying inscriptions and military motifs.
The Daviess County Confederate Association initiated the monument project in 1891, leading to its dedication ceremony in September 1900 with thousands attending.
The monument represents Kentucky's Civil War heritage through its sculptural design, inscriptions, and placement at the intersection of Third and Frederica Streets.
Following legal decisions in 2022, the monument was dismantled with the bronze sculpture relocated to Owensboro's City Cemetery and the pedestal moved to a Civil War site.
The monument's pedestal features specific inscriptions dedicated to Confederate soldiers, installed by the Breckinridge Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy.
