The Arkansas Confederate Soldiers Monument, also known as Defense of the Flag, is located on the east side of the

Confederate Army soldier on the front of its fourth tier. It was erected in 1904–05, with funding from a variety of sources, including the state, primarily through the efforts of a consortium of Confederate memorial groups. Originally located prominently near the main eastern entrance to the capitol building, it was later moved to its present location on the northeast lawn.[2]

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