About Confederate Memorial State Historic Site
The Confederate Memorial State Historic Site is a state-owned property occupying approximately 135 acres (55 ha) in northern Higginsville, Missouri, United States. From 1891 to 1950, the site was used as an old soldiers' home for veterans of the Confederate States Army after the American Civil War. The Missouri state government then took over operation of the site after the last veteran died in 1950, using it as a state park. In 1981, a cottage, a chapel, and the Confederate cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Confederate Chapel, Cemetery and Cottage.
