Isaac McCoy Monument – Western Cemetery, Louisville, KY
Erected April 11, 2026
On March 12, 2026, a monument we had long been making plans for, finally made its entrance into Western Cemetery. After around a decade of red tape and trying to reach the right people to make this happen, the monument commemorating Isaac McCoy, an often forgotten missionary who endured all sorts of hardships in propagation of the gospel, was finally unveiled on April 11, 2026.
A special thanks to all who donated to this special project and showed up for the unveiling! We could not have done it without you all!
