Sure, someone put up a 10 commandment monument in Chester county, Pennsylvania. Its presence was challenged in "Sally Flynn vs. Chester County." Because it was only put up for historical reasons, and was never justified as a religious basis for the laws in Chester county, it was allowed to stay.
Here's some additional detail:

Because it was only put up for historical reasons, and was never justified as a religious basis for the laws in Chester county, it was allowed to stay.To deny that the Ten Commandments have a religious origin (as well as American historical significance) is a lie. For Roy Moore to deny that they have religious significance to him personally (as well as significance in American and Alabamian jurisprudence) would be a lie. For Moore to have framed his argument on a purely historical basis would be to deny his faith, the expression of which (as well as free speech in many forms) the First Amendment was designed to protect.
Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at it.
