The Jefferson Davis Monument was built in memory of all he had done for Kentucky. The obelisk was finished on June 7, 1924, and it stands 351 feet high. This Memorial is under repair. Scaffolding is surrounding for workers to restore the exterior of this Monument.

This scaffolding is about 300 feet up. An Awesome site.
