Lancaster County Confederate Monument
[East Side]
1861-1865
Worthy, the Confederate soldier to be hallowed and held in tender remembrance
Worthy, the fadeless fame which Lancaster's soldiers won in defending the honor of the South, the rights of the States, the liberties of the people, the sentiments of the South, the principles of the Union, as they were handed down to them by the fathers of our common country.
Our Confederate Soldiers
[North Side]
No country had more loyal sons
No cause nobler champions
No people bolder defenders
No principle truer martyrs.
[West Side]
Erected by the women of Lancaster County A.D. 1909
under the auspices of the Lancaster Chapter U.D.C.
[South Side]
"God holds the scales of justice;
he will measure praise and blame;
and the South will stand the verdict
and will stand it without shame."
Marker is at the intersection of South Main Street (U.S. 521) and West Dunlap Street, on the right when traveling south on South Main Street.
