Lawrenceburg, TN Mexican War Monument

            Civil War monuments are aplenty around the United States, but if you are looking for a monument remembering the Mexican-American War of the mid 1840s, there are only 2 in Tennessee, one of which is shown here in Lawrenceburg, TN.  Planning began on the  War Monument in 1849 and the city legislature passed a resolution on 1/9/1850 to appropriate $1,500 to erect it.  The monument was created to perpetuate the memory of the "Lawrenceburg Blues" and Captain William B. Allen who fought in the Mexican War. It has a four square base supporting a shaft running skyward and is on the north side of the Lawrenceburg town square.
