Hidden in plain site! I visit the Alachua Lions club Confederate Monument in Newnansville.

     In 2002 the Alachua Lions club erected a monument to local Confederate Soldiers who are buried in Newnansville Cemetery. Newnansville is a ghost town now long gone to history. However at one time it was the county seat for Alachua County until the railroad bypassed it for Hogtown (later called Gainesville) and Alachua which sealed Newnansville fate. All that remains is a Plaque and beautiful cemetery. Below is a video of my visit.
