The Grand Army of the Republic Monument of Judsonia, Arkansas is located in the city's Evergreen Cemetery, on Judson Avenue north of its downtown. The monument consists of a rusticated fieldstone base, on which a cubical stone with inscriptions has been set. This is topped by an obelisk-like tapering marble element with a square cross section, which is topped by a sphere adorned with floral detailing. It is set in a square area 31 feet (9.4 m) on each side, in which a number of Union Army soldiers are buried. The monument was placed in 1894 by the local chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic, a Union Army veterans' organization. White County, where Judsonia is located, was divided in the war, with men from the county serving on both sides in the conflict.[2]
The memorial was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
