More than 3000 Confederate soldiers are buried in this Marietta cemetery, which was established for the specific purpose in 1866. The soldiers here interred died defending Atlanta during the Civil War in the fighting that took place between Kennesaw and Marietta, most notably in the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. While there are no maps or markers to help guide visitors, graves are grouped together according to the soldiers' home states. Access to the cemetery is free.
