It is one of only two memorials in the Commonwealth of Kentucky that celebrate soldiers of both sides of the conflict.

At each corner of the monument are similar engaged columns with concrete caps.

On the east face is an American Legion seal made of brass, denoting who built the monument.

On July 17, 1997, it was one of sixty-two different monuments to the Civil War in Kentucky placed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission.

It is within a few feet of the GAR Monument in Covington, which was also on the same MPS, but was built four years earlier.
