Question: Which county’s courthouse square has a Civil War memorial honoring both Union and Confederate soldiers?

Answer: On the lawn of the Greene County Courthouse are two monuments that commemorate the Civil War. One is dedicated to local troops who served in the Grand Army of the Republic (Union), and another memorializes Gen. Morgan, known as the “Thunderbolt of the Confederacy.” Greeneville is thought to be the only town in the United States that pays tribute to both the Union and the Confederacy in its courthouse square.
