Essex County Confederate Monument
Erected
To soldiers of Essex and those who fought with them.
They fought for the principles of state sovereignty
And in defense of their homes.
To maintain these rights the gallant sons of this
Gallant county marched gladly to the front and
Did their duty like men, from the opening guns at
First Manassas to the final chapter at Appomattox.
Marker is on Prince Street 0.1 miles west of Cross Street, in the median.
