Cemetery Description
Evergreen Cemetery was established in 1873 with the purchase of 20 acres of land from James Maney. Families transferred the bodies of many of their deceased relatives from the Old City Cemetery to Evergreen. Confederate Circle holds a prominent place in the cemetery. It is a mass grave containing the remains of about two thousand Confederate Soldiers that were transferred from a previous mass grave on South Church Street in 1890. There are numerous unmarked burials of those who were enslaved dating back to the Oaklands Plantation era. The cemetery is further noteworthy for the beauty of its intricately carved gravestones, tombs, and statuary.
