Sons & Daughters of Liberty


300 FT. S. OF PARKING LOT-PINE RIDGE PARK, ANNANDALE


This 1/4 acre parcel was deeded to Ebenezer Lodge No. 14, Sons and Daughters of Liberty, for use as a graveyard in 1907 (Db X6:539). The cemetery and surrounding property was condemned by the Fairfax County School Board in 1965 for a school that was never built. The Fairfax County Park Authority was eventually given use of the land and constructed ball fields in 1983. The cemetery was not maintained and suffered severely from neglect and vandalism. In 1990 the School Board cleared, fenced, and surveyed the site for burials. Forty-five graves were located. Only one original gravestone survived, all others on the site were placed by the School Board in 1990. The cemetery was clean and well maintained.
