Some cool info about a Confederate monument that is (knock on wood) still standing:
This is the Carroll County Confederate Memorial, Courthouse, and Museum in Hillsville, Virginia. The Confederate monument is a historic memorial dedicated to Confederate soldiers from the area. The courthouse is now used as the county museum (the War Between the States portion of the museum is shown). Carroll County is located in the southwestern part of Virginia, within the Blue Ridge Highlands region, along the North Carolina border.
This monument was unveiled on July 4, 1907 (although the monument notes 1908). It was originally placed in the middle of Main Street, where the local Confederate unit was organized and also mustered out at the end of the Civil War. The monument was later relocated to the lawn of the Historic Carroll County Courthouse in 1930 due to increased vehicle traffic.
