National Parks: Information on the Condition of Civil War Monuments at Selected Sites
National Park Service records show that 98 percent of the 2,510
monuments at the 11 Civil War battlefield parks GAO reviewed are in good
or fair condition, meaning that they need little or no repair. The
remaining two percent--54 monuments--are in poor shape, with statuary
and pedestals suffering from the following problems: broken or missing
parts, chips and cracks, and wear and erosion. The most common causes
of these problems are weathering and vandalism. Other causes include
erosion, structural deficiencies, and neglect. Park officials estimate
the cost to repair 34 of the monuments at $2,403,000. Cost estimates
were not provided for the other 20 monuments because officials were
unsure what work was needed or how much it would run.
