Ahead in Forsyth Park you'll see the Civil War Memorial, a forty-eight-foot shaft topped by a bronze statue of a Confederate soldier, flanked by two bronze busts of officers and ringed by a railing, one of only two such railings left in the city. Dedicated in 1875, it honored Confederate soldiers who died in the war. After the Unite the Right rally in August 2017, the city renamed and rededicated the structure in 2018.
