Like many monuments to the [[Confederate States of America]] in [[Kentucky]], it is an [[obelisk]], but is unique for being built like a chimney. The structure is made of mortared [[limestone]], locally quarried, with the chimney being thirty feet tall on a ten foot tall base.<ref name="Civil War in Kentucky">[http://www.trailsrus.com/monuments/reg4/paris.html Civil War in Kentucky<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> On the rear of the monument is a list of all those who died in the War from [[Bourbon County, Kentucky|Bourbon County]] for the Confederacy, or those serving the Confederacy who died in Bourbon County.<ref name="Civil War in Kentucky"/> Bourbon was one of the more Confederate of counties; by November of 1863, 700 men from Bourbon County served for the Confederate cause, whereas only 200 men from the county fought with the Union.<ref>[http://members.aol.com/CintiCWRT/bluegrass.html Kentucky in the Civil War<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> On July 17, 1997, it was one of sixty-one different monuments to the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] in Kentucky placed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], as part of the [[List of Civil War Monuments of Kentucky|Civil War Monuments of Kentucky]] [[Multiple Property Submission]]. {{Infobox_nrhp | name =Paris Cemetery Gatehouse | nrhp_type = | image = | caption = | location= [[Paris, Kentucky]] | built =1847 | architect= McMurtry,John | architecture= Gothic Revival | added = November 24, 1978 | governing_body = Private | refnum=78001301 <ref name="nris"/> }} The Paris Cemetery's gatehouse, made of granite, is also on the National Register, placed there on November 24, 1978. The cemetery was founded in 1847, with the gatehouse finished in 1862 by architect [[John McMurty]]. When opened, many families re-interred their dead in the new cemetery. The most notable person buried here is [[John Fox, Jr.]], whose [[novel]] ''[[The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (novel)|The Trail of the Lonesome Pine]]'' was the first work of American literature to sell over a million copies.{{fact|date=March 2008}} Aside from the Confederate Monument, other war memorials in the cemetery honor those who fought in the [[Mexican-American War]], [[World War II]], [[Korean War]], and the [[Vietnam War]]. A walking tour has been designed for those wishing to tour the cemetery.<ref>[http://www.parisky.org/A%20Cemetery.html The Paris Cemetery<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Bourbon County Confederate Monument 2.jpg|Front view File:Bourbon County Confederate Monument 3.jpg|Back view </gallery> ==References== {{reflist}} {{KYWNAMonuments}} [[Category:Civil War Monuments of Kentucky MPS]] [[Category:Confederate States of America memorials and cemeteries]] [[Category:National Register of Historic Places in Bourbon County, Kentucky]] [[Category:Obelisks in the United States]]
