The Stuart-Mosby Historical Society raised almost $40,000 to restore Jeb Stuart’s statue. The work was completed in May 2016. It looks magnificent again. Robert E. Lee’s statue is owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia and is due for a comprehensive maintenance update in 2017.

I like Monument Ave…But I find this monument out of all them needs work….It needs to be cleaned and redone in places. I guess Jeff Davis is still a dirty word in the South

All of the Confederate monuments on Monument Avenue need cleaning and repair. It is the hateful anti-White, anti-Southern attitude of the Richmond City government that keeps any of the required upkeep from happening on any of the Confederate monuments but the Ashe statue gets the royal treatment.
