🟌️ Rome Confederate Monument

The Rome Confederate Monument, also known as the Floyd County Soldiers Monument, is a partially dismantled monument in the Myrtle Hill Cemetery of Rome, Georgia, United States. It was erected by a local Ladies' Memorial Association and was dedicated in 1887 in honor of Confederate States Army soldiers from Floyd County, Georgia. It originally consisted of an urn atop a pedestal, but in 1909, the urn was replaced by a statue of a soldier and the monument was rededicated. In 2017, the statue was damaged in an act of vandalism, prompting the city to remove it from the monument.
