Jefferson Davis Monument, Fairview (Kentucky)

Even in today’s charged climate, monuments like this still abound. Noting the irony that Abraham Lincoln was born not too far from here, we learn from Wikipedia about this monument: “The Jefferson Davis Monument State Historic Site is a Kentucky state park commemorating the birthplace of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America… The site’s focal point is a 351-foot (107.0 m) concrete obelisk. In 1973, it was believed to be the fourth-tallest monument in the United States and the tallest concrete-cast one.” Not certain about now. Unused, heavily aged Curteich-Chicago C.T.
