OWENSBORO, Ky. (WFIE) - The Confederate statue that once stood on the lawn of the Daviess County Courthouse has a new home.
After approving the move in September, officials with the Daviess County Fiscal Court have relocated the statue.
The move was approved after a judge ruled they were the official owners of the monument.
The statue will now be next to Elmwood Cemetery, where officials believe many Confederate soldiers are buried.
