The Confederate-Union Veterans ' Monument in front of the Butler County Courthouse in Morgantown , Kentucky , was built in the aftermath the Spanish-American War , which helped alleviate the bitterness both sides felt toward the other when it was dedicated to the sacrifice of veterans of both sides of the Civil War .

Butler County had mixed loyalties in the War , with both sides well supported by the county . The monument was dedicated on May 30 , 1907 .
