After the war the survivors of Mosby's command raised funds for a monument to these heroes. It was placed at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Front Royal Sept. 23, 1899 - 35 years after the slayings. The 25-foot monument is made of granite and has the six men's names engraved upon it plus a seventh that was executed a few days later.
