Lake Village Confederate Monument, Lake Village

The Lake Village Confederate Monument is located on the median of Lakeshore Drive, between Main and Jackson Streets in Lake Village, Arkansas. The marble monument depicts a Confederate Army soldier standing in mid stride with his left foot forward. His right hand holds the barrel of a rifle, whose butt rests on the monument base. He carries a bedroll draped over his left shoulder, and wears a Confederate cap. A cannon that served as a fountain was once part of the sculpture, but is now missing. The statue is about 6 feet high and 2 feet square; it rests on a marble foundation that is 20 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 8 feet high. The monument was erected in 1910 by two chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at a cost of about $3,000. ()
