Description
The cemetery in which Confederate General Stonewall Thomas Jackson is buried after his death in 1863 was named for him in 1949. The cemetery which had been owned by the local Presbyterian Church was conveyed to the city that year which then renamed it. In 1920 the City Council voted unanimously to again rename the cemetery to Oak Grove Cemetery. Jackson and much of his family is buried here.
