Shaler Battery was a hilltop earthwork fortification built during the American Civil War in Northern Kentucky by the Union Army to turn back invading Confederate troops.
The location of this battery's powder magazine is marked by a bandstand in Evergreen Cemetery in Southgate, Kentucky.
It was originally a small earthwork fortification on the point of a hill, ringed by rifle pit entrenchments.
The surrounding area is covered with graves and the rifle pits were filled in to form a road which is now paved.
The battery was named for Dr. Nathaniel Burger Shaler, a prominent Newport, Kentucky physician, who offered his family's hilltop vineyard (which was adjacent to the cemetery and would eventually be purchased from the family estate as an addition to Evergreen) as a site for the battery.
