Finn's Point
5/04
Finn's Point National Cemetery is small....not even 5 acres
in size. When you first enter, you don't see too many stones. But once you
get to the back corner of the graveyard, you find out why; there is a very
tall (85' tall) memorial in the back for the 2,436 Confederate soldiers buried
here. A smaller monument near the front of the cemetery lists the 135 Union
soldiers interred here as well, 30 of whom were never identified. This cemetery
is one of just a few in the entire country to have soldiers from both the
North and South.
Finn's Point also has 13 German POW's, along with soldiers killed in action
and veterans from other wars.
The Confederate Monument
Just one of the name plaques. From what I saw, there were 7 more.
The Union monument
The German POW's corner
I thought this was an awesome name.
There were 7 signs with poetry on them. I took a pic of the last one.
