Nathan Bedford Forrest Monument (Rome, Georgia)
Nathan Bedford Forrest Monument (Rome, Georgia)

The Nathan Bedford Forrest Monument is a partially dismantled monument at Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Rome, Georgia, United States. It was dedicated in the early 1900s in honor of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. It was initially located in the median of Broad Street near Second Street, but was relocated to the cemetery in 1952 due to traffic issues. In the 2020s, the monument came under increased scrutiny, prompting the statue to be removed in 2021. The monument was commissioned by the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Forrest had been a popular figure in Rome due to his actions during the war, which included the 1863 capture of Colonel Abel Streight, who had planned to lead to Union army raid across North Georgia. In 1910, another Confederate monument commissioned by the Sons of Confederate Veterans was installed next to the monument. Both were relocated to Myrtle Hill Cemetery, where they remained next to each other and were later incorporated into the Veteran's Plaza, an area of the cemetery centered on the Tomb of the Known Soldier. The monument became the subject of criticism and calls for removal in the early 21st century, especially amidst the George Floyd protests in 2020, due to Forrest's actions in both the Civil War and afterwards, which included a stint as the inaugural grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. In mid-2020, the city commission voted unanimously to relocate the statue, and it was removed from the monument in January 2021. Later that year, the statue was relocated to the Rome Area History Museum.
