It is time to remove the Confederate Soldier statue from the Winchester walking mall and place it where its history can be preserved: in a museum. Its presence in a public place is disturbing to many and off-putting to visitors, which can affect tourism and local business. To preserve history, we suggest placing the statue in either the Civil War Museum or the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, where it can be contextualized. It's time to making the walking mall and Winchester a place that's welcoming to ALL visitors.
