Confederate Memorial Park is an Alabama State Park located in Mountain Creek, in rural Chilton County, Alabama, United States. The park's centerpiece is Alabama's only state home for Confederate soldiers.
The home "operated from 1902–1939 as a haven for disabled or indigent veterans of the Confederate army, their wives, and widows." The last veteran at the facility died in 1934, and the facility closed in 1939 when "the five remaining widows were moved to Montgomery for better care". In 1964, during the Civil War Centennial, the Alabama State Legislature established the Confederate Memorial Park, encompassing the original 102-acre site of the home, as "a shrine to the honor of Alabama's citizens of the Confederacy." In 1971, the site was placed under the Alabama Historical Commission's authority.
