Neshoba County Confederate Monument, Philadelphia, Mississippi

The Confederate Monument which stands in front of the Neshoba County Court House, Philadelphia, Mississippi, was constructed by funds raised by public subscription.  It was dedicated in July, 1912, to the memory of the citizens of Neshoba County who fought to defend their homeland from invading Northern forces during the War Between the States, 1861 - 1865.

The statue of a Confederate soldier atop the monument was damaged by a windstorm in 1990, and was restored by the people of Neshoba County in 2006. 

The front inscription of the monument reads:

1861-1865

Love's tribute to the

Noble men who marched

'Neath the flag of the

Stars and Bars, and were

Faithful to the end.
C.S.A.

Our Heroes.
Erected by the

Daughters of the

Confederacy
