List of Civil War Monuments of Kentucky
- List of Civil War Monuments of Kentucky
The list of Civil War Monuments of Kentucky lists the 60 American Civil War monuments in Kentucky that were added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1997, as a result of a Multiple Property Submission (MPS).
Although Kentucky produced more Union troops than Confederate troops (75,000 compared to 50,000), only one of the 62 monuments were dedicated to Union forces.
The only Union monument erected in Kentucky by public subscription is located in Vanceburg, on the Lewis County Courthouse square. It is the only Union monument of its kind to be erected south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Confederate memorials erected before 1900 were a "memorialization of the Lost Cause" and those after 1900 were a "celebration of the Confederacy". The "Lost Cause" monuments were not much more than regular gravestones. The first such monument was the Confederate Monument in Cynthiana erected in 1869. Later monuments were more elaborate. These monuments never endorsed slavery, but instead focused on state's rights.

These were the Jefferson Davis Monument in Fairview, Kentucky and Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace.
