The Confederate monument is located at 300 East Robert S. Kerr (formerly Main Street)  on the southwest corner of the old Presbyterian Church property in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. Under a canopy of large trees, the monument looks out over a brick-paved boulevard, divided by a tree-shaded grass-covered median.

Why So Many Confederate Veterans in Wynnewood, Oklahoma?

Oklahoma, with its rich, fertile soil and undeveloped resources, was attractive to Southerners ruined by War and Reconstruction.  They came in droves, hoping to better their lot.  Many of them were Confederate veterans.  Settled in 1887, Wynnewood, like most of the towns in Indian Territory, was populated nearly exclusively by people from the Old South states, and today the southeast quadrant of the state is still known as Little Dixie.

The Soldiers Must Not be Forgotten

They became the mayors, aldermen, ministers, farmers, doctors, merchants, educators and citizens of the new state.  But most of all, they were the men and boys who arose to defend the South in her time of need.   James Tucker, who died here in 1904, enlisted in the Confederate Army at the tender age of 12 and was barely 15 when the War ended.  When this permanent memorial is completed, he will not be forgotten.

As you can see, we have verified the names and military identifications of over 150 Confederate veterans who once lived in Wynnewood or on the surrounding farms.  They hail from every Southern state and the old Indian Territory.  When our ongoing research produces still others, a third bronze plaque containing the names of those veterans will be added to the back side of the monument.

On the right and left sides of the stone base, at eye level, are three bronze plaques holding the name, rank and military unit of every Confederate veteran who ever lived in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
