Southeast corner of Tapawingo
Rd. & Frederick St. SW, Vienna, Va.
A 12' x 15' brick wall
surrounds a historical marker and three military style
marble headstones. The marker is a bronze tablet attached
to a boulder. The wall and landscaping were all installed
by the Town of Vienna in 1986. The exact number and
location of burials is unknown, as the markers have
all been moved from their original locations. The cemetery
is clean and well maintained.
