Monument to Last Shot of the Civil War
This might be interesting but I was put off by the busy road and lack of parking. Wanted to read and study but just snapped a pic and ran because I was blocking the road. There is no street parking and it looks like the only parking spot is someone's driveway. Needs a sign to allow visitor parking.
