The Maplewood Cemetery was established as the town of Charlottesville's first official resting place for the dead in 1827.[1] However, its oldest grave marker is from 1777, which suggests that some graves may have been moved to Maplewood after the cemetery was opened. [1] The cemetery is a few blocks north of downtown, and located on Maple Avenue near Martha Jefferson Hospital. The 3.6 acre parcel of land is owned by the city of Charlottesville.[1] It holds several notable Charlottesville citizens and over 100 unmarked graves of civil war soldiers. [1]
