The 32nd Indiana Monument, also known as the August Bloedner Monument, formerly located in Cave Hill National Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, honors the fallen soldiers of the 32nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment, also known as the "1st German," at the Battle of Rowlett's Station, near Munfordville, Kentucky. For most of its existence it had been at the cemetery, but is presently at the Frazier International History Museum lobby for display.
