The Page County Confederate Memorial stands in a very small park in the middle of a busy intersection just east of Downtown Luray, Virginia. Page County Native Herbert Barbee, son of renowned sculptor William Randolph Barbee designed the memorial which stands on East Main Street. The Monument was dedicated on July 21, 1898 and bears the following inscriptions:
Would it not be a blame for us
if their memories part
from our land & heart
and a wrong to them & a shame for us
the glories they won shall not wane for us
in legend & lay
our heroes in gray
shall forever live over again for us.
To the heroes
both private and chief of the
Southern Confederacy
is this tribute
affectionately inscribed.
