The Confederate Soldier Memorial, also known as Confederate Monument and Memorial Arch,[1][2] is an outdoor Confederate memorial installed at Camp Chase in the Hilltop neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, in the United States.[3][4]
The monument was erected in 1902 and commemorates the 2,260 Confederate soldiers buried at the site.[5][6] The memorial is 17 feet (5.2 m) and includes a bronze figure of a soldier standing on a granite arch, holding a rifle. Its original wooden arch, which was inscribed with the word "AMERICANS", was replaced with the current stone arch in 1902.[7]
The statue on top was toppled and destroyed by vandals overnight on August 22, 2017,[8] and was repaired and re-installed in May 2019.[9]
