Monument is on South side of road.
One of the more colorful footnotes in Kansas History is remembered on this simple monument constructed by Boy Scouts. Corbett had been a sharp-shooter during the Civil War, and after the assassination of Lincoln, he volunteered to join a detachment of soldiers searching for Booth who was soon tracked to a barn in Virginia. When the old barn had been surrounded, Booth refused to surrender. Though Corbett always maintained that he'd seen Booth raise his pistol after being ordered to surrender and was taking aim at their commander, he was charged with disobeying orders. Nothing ever came of the charges, but Corbett was discharged from the army shortly thereafter.
