The Hazen Brigade Monument is a stoic reminder if the hefty cost of war and price of freedom. This Civil War monument is the oldest of its kind to have survived over the years, and still stands at its original location within the Stones River National Cemetery. The monument is a testament and a homage to those brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for the sake of their country.

During the battle of Stones River the members of the Hazen Brigade made a successful stand against 4 bloody charges. After the battle the survivors built this monument. It is the oldest intact Civil War monument,
MoreWe missed this last visit somehow. As the first Civil War monument built(1863)it was the highlight of this year’s visit. If I recall correctly Hazen’s brigade had 409 casualties and lost 29% of its force during the battle. 23,000 casualties that very day here at Stones River. Wow.
MoreVisited this in conjunction to the Stones River National Battlefield. Neat monument and history. I described this in my review of the Stones River National Battlefield
MoreI lived in Murfreesboro for many years but never heard of the legend encapsulated at Hazen Brigade Monument. It is well worth your 15 minute stop to soak in history and imagine yourself there.
MoreThe Hazen Brigade Monument is just down Old Nashville Highway from the Stones River National Cemetery. It is worth a stop since it is not out of the way. The monument itself is interesting, but just outside of the walls there are two more graves and a historical sign that are even more interesting. Make sure to check them out.
