The Confederate Memorial
Artist: C.F. Kohlrus

The oldest sculpture in Greenville, the Confederate Memorial was initially erected in 1892 at College Street and Main Street, but was eventually moved around 1925 to the Springwood Cemetery.

The model for the memorial was Greenville Police Chief James Ligon, who fought in more than 20 Civil War battles. Sculptor C. F. Kohlrus used photos of Ligon, who posed in his Confederate uniform 20 years later, to create the memorial.
