The Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities operates seven municipal cemeteries. Although all of the cemeteries have historical interest, the four that are particularly noteworthy are the following:

Shockoe Hill Cemetery

Located in the downtown area of Richmond on Hospital Street. Within its grounds are buried such luminaries as John Marshall, the revered U.S. Supreme Court Justice; Elmira Shelton, said to be Edgar Allan Poe’s fiancée and inspiration for the “Lost Lenore” in his poem The Raven; John Allan, Poe’s boyhood friend; Peter Francisco, the Revolutionary War hero; 220 Confederate and 577 Union soldiers; and Elizabeth VanLew, the Union spy who operated a “safe” house during the War Between the States.

This cemetery is on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places.

Historic St. John’s Church Cemetery

Located on the grounds of St. John’s Church in Richmond’s oldest neighborhood of Church Hill at 24th and Broad streets. The City owns the Broad Street side of the cemetery. This cemetery is the resting place of Elizabeth Arnold Poe, mother of Edgar Allan Poe and George Wythe (who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence). The church is the site of Patrick Henry’s rousing “Give me liberty or give me death!” speech. The dates and times for reenactments of Patrick Henry’s famous speech can be obtained by calling St. John’s Church at 804-649-0263.

This cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Barton Heights Cemeteries

The City also maintains the inactive Barton Heights Cemeteries located between St. James Street and Lamb Avenue. In 1815, the Burial Ground Society of the Free People of Color established the first cemetery here. That cemetery became known as Cedarwood. Five more cemeteries were established adjoining Cedarwood. These cemeteries were established by the burial society and/or religious organizations. The other cemeteries are Sons and Daughters of Ham, Ebenezer, Methodist, Sycamore, and Union Mechanics.

The Barton Heights Cemeteries are on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.

Oakwood Cemetery

Located at 3101 East Nine Mile Road, Oakwood is the final resting place of 17,000 Confederate soldiers, casualties from several battles fought in the Richmond area during the War Between the States. According to information from The Dahlgren Affair by Duane Schultz, Yankee Colonel Dahlgren was buried in a secret cave in Oakwood Cemetery in March 1864, and removed by Elizabeth VanLew under cover of night on April 6, 1864. The body was taken out of Richmond by VanLew under a wagon load of peach trees and reburied the next day on a farm at Hungary Station. His body was returned to Philadelphia in October 1865 for a burial in the North Hill Cemetery.

This cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places.
