Title
Talbot Boys Monument (Belmont Estates, Virginia)
Description
Previously located outside Talbot County courthouse in Easton Maryland before being relocated to the Cross Keys Battlefield in 2021, this simple statue commemorates the 96 confederate soldiers from Talbot County Maryland who died in the Civil War. It is a simple bronze statue atop a stone plinth depicting a young white boy holding a flag in triumph. Originally erected in 1916, a group called the Move the Monument Coalition raised $82,000 to have the statue relocated after the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
