Jacksonville Civil War Monument

This Civil War Monument, located in the center of the downtown square in Jacksonville, Illinois, was dedicated in 1920 to the memory of the men of Morgan County who enlisted in the United States Army as well as women and other local residents whose service and sacrifice helped the Union win the Civil War. The statue is capped by Columbia, a female figure who serves as a metaphorical representation of the US in many sculptures throughout the country.
