The Sassy Stone Sentinel of Augusta, KY: A Four-foot Granite Nod to the South,

Tucked away in the heart of Augusta, Kentucky, you'll find a four-foot granite stone pill, standing tall and sassily, marking the final resting spot of eight Confederate soldiers. Built in 1863, a year after a Confederate force met its match in the region, this stone found a permanent home in 1903, when the John B Hood Camp of the United Confederate Veterans decided to shell out 550 bucks to raise this towering column that still stands today. Landing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, this stone is conveniently located from a parking area next to Kentucky State Road 8's flagpole. If you're feeling sprightly, you can hike up the nearby stairs for a leisurely stroll through Payne Cemetery to reach it. Or, if you fancy a slower tempo, you can just kick back and admire the engraved words that remind us of a different era.
