BARTOW, Fla. â Located in plain view, on the grounds of the old Polk County courthouse in Bartow is a Confederate memorial.
Maggie Macaulay was at the unveiling ceremony nearly 40 years ago with her grandmother.
âShe was asked to unveil it and she did. I was there when she pulled the cord to lift the cloth off of the monument,â said Macaulay.
Though her great-grandfather is one of the soldiers recognized on the Confederate marker, the now New Mexico resident and others called for the Polk County Historical Commission to have the memorial moved.
