Old Drum Monument

See Photo Location

This monument was erected in tribute to Old Drum, the beloved hunting dog who was shot by his owner’s neighbor in 1869. George Graham Vest, who later became a U.S. Senator, won world fame for his closing argument, from which the phrase “a dog is a man’s best friend” is said to have come. Visit the monument to read the speech.
