Confederate Memorial State Historic Site is located in Missouri, United States, north of Higginsville. The 135-acre (55 ha) park was established in 1952 on the site of the Confederate Soldiers Home of Missouri from 1891 to 1950. The site offers tours, fishing ponds, and picnicking.
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 as the Confederate Chapel, Cemetery and Cottage. The Confederate Chapel is a small one-storied white frame structure with a square two-storied projecting tower. The adjoining Confederate Memorial Cemetery is laid out in neat rows and each of the 723 graves (some are double) is marked with a stone and inscription.
