Confederate Mothers Memorial Park

The Confederate Mothers Memorial is a public park at Skyline Drive and West 19th Street in Russellville, Arkansas. The park covers about 20 acres (8.1 ha), most of which is unimproved woodlands. Near the junction of the two roads is a gravel parking lot, in which are three stone monuments, each one placed by a different Confederate veterans or memorial organization, with inscriptions honoring the mothers of the Confederacy.[2]

History

Land for the park was donated in 1921 to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the monuments were dedicated that year. Plans to further develop the park with other amenities have never been realized. It is believed to be the only Confederate memorial of its type in the state.[1]

The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]

gollark: I expect it will end up being yours fairly rapidly.
gollark: Also, I really hope this proxy is *secured* somehow or there will be *problems*.
gollark: I'll try and explain it better then- the quotas at random.org are *presumably* limiting your access to random bits based on your IP - that is, the IP it gets the requests from, not one you specify, that would be silly.- when using your proxy, the requests are coming from the proxy's IP- thus, you should get the quotas from the *same IP* you're contacting random.org from- in the case of your `curl` thing it works, as you're requesting the quota for the same IP you send requests from- this will not be the case if you attempt to fetch the quota for your computer's real IP when it's accessing random.org through the proxy
gollark: **gollark** is typing...
gollark: *But* that's *invalid* if you're going to use the proxy to contact random.org itself.
