  • The final resting place for more than 15,000 Union soldiers with only 2,473 identified. The unknown markers are the smaller square stones; the top number indicates the plot number and the bottom...

  • It was a very sobering place to visit. Realizing all of the lives that were lost at this battle. Sits high on a hill. A must see when in this area!

  • I was given five grave stone numbers to locate African Americans buried at this national cemetery. I was able to locate 3 of 5 on my first attempt. I was able to locate the first black officer buried in the National Cemetery, Urbane Bass, a black Fredericksburg doctor. He died in 1918 while serving in World War 1 in France. I also found the gravestone #6688 of Charles Sprout(former slave) served with 1st US Colored Cavalry. Thanks to National Park Ranger Peter Maugle, for his assistance with the leads, maps, and his knowledge.
  • A nicely preserved piece of history. The museum and gift shop are both nice and staffed with friendly and helpful people.
