| | | 3. Pelham Monument | | A short distance to the west on the James Madison Highway at the intersection with Beverly Ford Road (CR 676) is this monument to Pelham, erected in 1926 by his wife with the help of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The monument is best viewed after parking on the roadside of Beverly Ford Road, although there is a section of the old highway road bed in front of the memorial. Visitors should use caution around this busy intersection. | | |
