51 Cemeteries Project: #48 Historic Oakwood Cemetery, Raleigh NC

Established in 1869, Historic Oakwood Cemetery is located close to the North Carolina state capitol in Raleigh. The cemetery contains as special area for Confederate soldiers, where close to 1500 soldiers are buried.





I visited the former Senators grave three weeks before he died.



The 102 acre cemetery is Raleigh's oldest, private, and non-profit cemetery. For more information check out their web site: http://www.historicoakwoodcemetery.com/
