Civil War Monument
This attractive monument is located in the central courtyard of old Lenox College. The college operated from 1859 to 1944. Several of the old buildings still exist and are on the National Register of Historic Places. The monument is one of the oldest in the country, dedicated November 17, 1865. Many of the students enlisted and the monument is dedicated to them. Many were in the Iowa 21st. The inscriptions of soldiers are reasonably clear considering the age of the monument. The college is visible on the north side of Highway 38. Photo taken 3/24/08.
