It is a stone obelisk, 200 inches (5.1 m) in height, with a square base 45 inches (1.1 m) on each side. The east face bears the inscription "1061-65 / (carving of crossed flags) / DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY / OF OWR CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS / THE BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE / ERECTED BY / ROBERT E. LEE CHAPTER / NO. 718 U.D.C. / OCT. 1925". The monument was funded by the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and was dedicated in 1925.
