Confederate Monument at Shiloh National Military Park
SHILOH BATTLEFIELD TOUR STOP #2
The idea for the Confederate Monument at Shiloh National Military Park was born in 1905, but it took twelve more years before the monument was finally dedicated on May 17, 1917. Money had to be raised, and it took two design contests to finally come up with a monument that the United Daughters of the Confederacy approved. Frederick C. Hibbard from Chicago was the contest winner. Information panels at the monument describe the various symbolic aspects of the structure.
