Monument Preservation

Defending Our History, Protecting Our Heritage

The Confederate Monument on the Georgetown Courthouse Square stands as a solemn tribute to the brave men from Williamson County who fought and died in the War Between the States. Erected in 1916 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, this monument was never about slavery or racial supremacy—it was about grieving widows and daughters ensuring that their husbands and fathers would not be forgotten.

Under Attack by Those Who Seek to Erase the Past

In recent years, this monument has come under attack from Black Lives Matter extremists and other radical activists who seek to rewrite history by tearing down its symbols. They claim the monument is about division, but their true goal is to destroy Southern heritage and silence the memory of Confederate soldiers.

The Williamson County Grays, Camp #502, will not stand idly by while history is dismantled. For over four years, our members have stood guard over the monument every Saturday, ensuring that it remains protected from vandalism and removal efforts. We are committed to preserving this monument for future generations.
