Confederate Memorials in Henderson County Courthouse History
A Henderson County monument to Robert E Lee sits under a large tree on the Historic Courthouse grounds after a 2008 move to the back yard. The marker credits the United Daughters of the Confederacy and others, while local debates, including historian Terry Garren and George A. Jones, note tensions over its siting and a 2012 decision to add a Southern Cross at the obelisk base.
