The Confederate Memorial State Historic Site is a state park, historic site, and recreation area in Higginsville, Missouri. It is the site where the Confederate Soldiers Home of Missouri once stood.

The Confederate Soldiers Home of Missouri is an establishment that was created to provide refuge to over 1600 Confederate veterans and their families. It was opened in 1891 and served retired soldiers during their old age. It was operated for almost 60 years, up to 1950, when the very last Confederate soldier passed away at the age of 108.

The Confederate Memorial State Historic Site commemorates and preserves the rich history of Missouri and honors the great contributions its former residents bestowed not only to the state, but also the nation.
